PROCULTHER-NET technical bulletin issue 1
This technical bulletin from PROCULTHER-NET presents recent developments in the protection of cultural heritage in disaster risk management. This first edition showcases good practices and technical solutions for the preservation of cultural heritage during crises and addresses the bigger questions on the place of preservation of cultural heritage within disaster risk management. In order to make a substantial contribution to strengthening the protection of cultural heritage at risk, the bulletin aims to cover all phases of disaster risk management with both a phase-specific and mainstreamed approach.
This issue includes several sections: prevention, focused on gathering indigenous knowledge to mitigate climate crisis; preparedness, introducing tools developed in Italy for mapping historic centres from seismic risk, as well the protection of movable cultural heritage; response, presenting lessons learnt from France on the "security/safety" action plan for cathedrals; and a mainstreaming section dedicated to “European coordination”.
