recovery from all types of disasters and the types of services you might need. Depending on the disaster, services could include a structural architect or engineer; conservators, commercial refrigeration or freezing; or the local health department. These services
can help the recovery team make sure structures are safe for entry, ensure a safe environment for recovery work and keep artifacts safe / stabilized during the recovery period.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
