35 Organizations Receive Emergency Planning Grants
LEH’s Emergency Planning Grants, the first of its kind, provide $5,000 to nonprofit humanities and cultural organizations—including museums, historic sites, archives, and others—for the creation, updating, and implementation of written emergency plans. The grants aid organizations in better preparing for and responding to potential threats, reducing vulnerability, and putting in place clear and current strategies for mitigating the effects of future emergencies.
Recipients, which represent 19 parishes across north, central, and south Louisiana, will be able to use the funds to hire consultants or underwrite staff time to develop, update and implement written emergency plans, and support staff training, such as workshops or other professional development opportunities, directly related to emergency planning. The full list of recipients can be found below.
