This year marks the 50th commemoration of the flooding of Florence (and a few months later, the floods that devastated the Calouste Gulbenkian Collections in Lisbon).
The International Conference “Cultural Heritage: Disaster Preparedness, Response and Recovery” therefore comes at an opportune time to collectively address the concepts, principles and good practices for disaster prevention and the response to emergency situations.
This conference hopes to promote an exchange of views in the fields of heritage preservation and disaster risk prevention. Our aim is to encourage direct cooperation between heritage organisations, research institutes and the civil protection services. Ultimately we want to look at ways of achieving a more effective management of crisis situations and to create mechanisms to reduce damage to cultural heritage in disaster situations.
The conference will address themes such as analysis and risk management; the effects of disasters on heritage institutions in the short and long-run period; examining what conservation tools are available for damage prevention and recovery. Finally, the conference also aims to broaden and reinforce international cooperation in these fields.
