Despite flooding in Duncannon from Tropical Storm Lee over the weekend, we will still be holding tomorrow's A.T. Community Advisory Committee meeting at the Borough Office at 6pm. Click here or see post below to see more info on meeting details.

**Preservation Pennsylvania just sent out an alert spreading word about resources available for flood damaged buildings.** (See below)

A good place to begin is this website:   http://www.oldhouseweb.com/how-to-advice/treating-flood-damaged-older-and-historic-buildings.shtml.   It includes a checklist of things to do, first steps in drying out your buildings, how to save your foundation and a number of other useful topics.  Another great resource is The Treatment of Flood Damaged Properties: http://ncptt.nps.gov/pdf/NTHP-Information-Booklet-82-Flood-Damage-and-Older-Homes.pdf

Additionally, please let Preservation Pennsylvania know if your historic building has sustained any significant damage.  They are maintaining a list of properties damaged by the storms; and are also offering free technical assistance to anyone (individuals, organizations, municipalities, corporations) who requests it.  Please call their office at (717) 234-2310 or send an email at info@preservationpa.org
