The Northeast Ohio Alliance for Response (NEOAFR) is an organization of individuals from not-for-profit cultural institutions and allied professionals and volunteers that provides planned events and opportunities for education and outreach.  NEOAFR also shares information with its mailing list and the communities it serves in support of disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and continuity of operations. NEOAFR is currently working in conjunction with the Cuyahoga County Office of Emergency Management to create a county-by-county list of cultural and performing arts organizations to provide emergency first responders with up-to-date information.  If you work at a gallery, library, museum, archive, theater, dance company, performing arts organization, historical society or a historic home or village, come join the conversation as a part of the Northeast Ohio Alliance for Response (NEOAFR).  For more information or to be put on the NEOAFR mailing list contact Holly Witchey (hwitchey@ica-artconservation.org)
