The HELP! Online Resources were developed with funding provided through the Museum Flood Funding Program. As a multi-year initiative supported by Alberta Culture and Tourism, the Program provided assistance to museums affected by the June 2013 floods, and ensured at-risk museums are able to mitigate potential damage in the event of future flooding emergencies. The AMA appreciates the Government of Alberta's commitment to assisting flood-affected cultural institutions.
