Managing Disaster Risks to Cultural Heritage presents case studies
from different regions in the world and establishes a framework for
understanding, identifying, and analysing disaster risks to
immovable cultural heritage. Including contributions from academics
and practitioners from around the globe, the book presents a
comprehensive view of the scholarship relating to cultural
heritage, disaster risk preparedness and post-disaster recovery.
Particular attention is given to the complex and dynamic nature of
disaster risks and how they evolve during different phases of a
catastrophic event, especially as hazards can create secondary
effects that have greater impacts on cultural heritage,
infrastructure, and economy. Arguing that risk preparedness and
mitigation have historically been secondary to reactive emergency
and first aid response, the book demonstrates that preparedness
plans based on sound risk assessments can prevent hazards from
becoming disasters. Emphasising that the protection of cultural
heritage through preparedness and mitigation actions and risk
adaptation measures, especially for climate change, can contribute
to the resilience of societies, the book highlights the vital role
of communities in such activities. Managing Disaster Risks to
Cultural Heritage will be useful to students, professionals, and
scholars studying and working with cultural heritage protection. It
will be of particular interest to those working in the Cultural
Heritage, Archaeology, Conservation and Preservation, Sustainable
Development and Disaster Studies fields.
