Risk of returning loot “outweighed by the risks of doing nothing”
Last week, the UK @MuseumsAssoc released a bold new toolkit for #museums wanting to deaccession items: "such work has risks... but in many cases these are outweighed by the risks of doing nothing." 😯 museumsassociation.org/campa… @Sharonheal @arthistorynews @garethharr @Durrant_Jenny

For every US$100 spent on disaster-related assistance, only 50 cents are invested in protecting development from the impact of disasters. We urgently need to scale up financing for prevention and resilience. #Climatefinance ➡️ ow.ly/j8mE50OZ5A5
ALT Every dollar spent reducing risk can save 15 dollars in post-disaster recovery costs.

Ukrainian libraries continue to serve their communities. They offer relief and healing. They continue to explore new opportunities for outreach to serve the army and refugees, and they help unite a nation in the common struggle for freedom. ow.ly/jUHA50OjBya

Ryan if @united for whatever reason can not waive the fee I will pay the extra bag fees…we need farmers to be safe. We need them to produce food….and you are doing gods work! @Ukraine – at Los Angeles, CA
Quick question for my Twitter friends. I will be transporting over 10 x 50lbs bags of mine removal equipment via United Air this next week. it's 2,000$ in extra bag fees. Does anyone know of a humanitarian letter or something to where these major airlines waive the bag fees for humanitarian aid and equipment? thank you.
