Recovering art from smoke and soot damage

​Greetings. I am one artist of a hundred artists who rent in a studio building in Houston that was bombed last night. The firemen were able to put out the fire and left the remaining studios on both floors with soot and smoke damage. None of us have been able to enter the building to assess the damage. One thing will be for certain, there will be damage. I am interested in organizing an email that can be sent out to all artists to hopefully help them with the first stages of getting our works back to some kind of order if they are retrievable. From what I understand, the smoke remnants is so dense that even hanging out for an hour in the building will leave one’s clothing saturated with smell. 

I’m wondering if anyone could help with some tips on the following:

How can we

1. Remove soot from unvarnished acrylic and oil paintings
2. Remove soot from varnished acrylic and oil paintings
3. Remove smoke smell from unvarnished acrylic and oil paintings

4. Remove smoke smell from varnished acrylic and oil paintings

5. (This is for me) I have unvarnished acrylic paintings on wood panels that are for a solo show next September. The panels were coated with GAC100 or Gloss Medium prior to several layers of acrylic dispersion. From that point, I started painting with Golden Acrylic paints and Golden OPEN paints. 
I had planned on sealing the back of these with Polycrylic and sealing the front of the paintings with Golden Isolation Coat followed by removable varnish. Assuming I can clean the soot off of them prior to doing sealing the front and back of the paintings, do you think the layers of protection will help get rid of the smoke smell? Or, am I looking at trashing all of them?

I’m assuming all artworks on paper are destroyed. 

I realize these cleaning methods are best left to professionals, but seeing as how most of us barely make our rent on top of our full-time jobs, it would be great if we could get some information on methods that could be easily accessible by laymen and take our chances the best we can. 

Thank you for any information you can provide. This is a horrible way to start the holidays.
