Aparna Tandon: Building Capacity for Multi-Hazard Disaster Risk Management of Cultural Heritage Aparna Tandon

ICCROM, Rome, Italy

Confronted with overlapping risks such as the ongoing pandemic and extreme hazard events that are driven by climate change and other risk factors, cultural heritage institutions will have to mitigate multiple risks at the same time and enhance their capacities to respond in the event of large scale and complex emergencies. This presentation will share insights gained by the ICCROM through its international capacity building programme on First Aid and Resilience for Cultural Heritage in Times of Crisis (FAR). It will outline widely applicable strategies for multi-hazard disaster risk management of cultural heritage, which also contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation. The presentation will introduce scenario-based planning and offer ways in which inter-agency coordination and cooperation between heritage, civil protection, disaster risk reduction and humanitarian aid sectors could be enhanced.
