In addition to the immediate assistance offered by FEMA and the Red Cross, there are other places to go for information on repair and restoration of buildings, furniture, and particularly papers that have been damaged in the storm. I understand that papers should be frozen, preferably with dry ice, if damaged. In Iowa after the 93 floods several meat storage lockers offered their services so that people could save family papers, albums and smaller local museums had a place to store their collections. Am not sure what kind of container these should be placed in, perhaps on a temporary basis freezer bags would work if you get the air out of them. Anyway other places to check for folks knowledgeable about rehabilitation are the Missouri Office of Historic Preservation, part of the Department of Natural Resources in Jefferson City; there should be paper conservators at the Missouri State Archives, Secretary of State; State Historical Society of Missouri; possibly at the National Archives office in Kansas City. Don't have email or other addresses here. But would be happy to furnish them from my office, [email protected] or 515/281-6826 Kerry McGrath
