The Association of National Committees of the Blue Shield (ANCBS) expresses its sympathy with the victims of the recent earthquake in China and the hurricane in Burma/Myanmar and at the same time expresses its concern for the rich cultural heritage of these regions, which has probably suffered damage in many different ways as a result of the earthquake and the hurricane.
The ANCBS calls upon the organizations behind the Blue Shield network, covering cultural heritage sectors such as museums, libraries, archives and archaeological sites and monuments, to make use of their respective contacts with organizations in China and Burma/Myanmar to obtain information about damage to cultural heritage and what assistance may be needed from the international community in this tragic situation.
