During the month of October, institutions were working hard to get back on their feet. The Heritage Emergency National Task Force from FEMA began collecting data about the extent of damages experienced by cultural institutions and provided orientation on how to apply for funding at various venues. A diversity of initiatives started emerging to aid the recovery process, locally and with support of organizations and institutions outside of the Island like the Smithsonian Institution. Also, as the electricity and access to Internet was being restored across the Island, we see more publications, news interviews, calls for help and exposure of the damages on the media.
