Emergency Management Resources for Cultural Heritage in Conflict, Disaster and Crisis

Here you can find emergency management resources for preparatory planning, crisis management, and crisis response for cultural heritage

(Are you looking specifically for information on safe havens, refuges and evacuation? It's in this package).

Preparatory planning for conflict and disaster

ICCROM Guide to Risk Management - Available on the ICCROM Website in English French, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese

(Blue Shield France - How to Write an Emergency Guide for your Museum in Ten Steps (below) - French)

Historic England - Heritage Crime Risk Assessment - This guidance note is aimed at heritage professionals, community groups and volunteers who have little or no experience of risk management and crime prevention. Its aim is to introduce a straightforward methodology that will help them to assess and quantify relative crime risks and to implement cost-effective measures to address those risks. This process is distinct from any assessment of risk undertaken for insurance purposes.
(Although UK-focussed in the references to types of listing and laws, the Guidance for different types of heritage is good).

Priority Tag to help identify cultural objects for evacuation in an emergency (English at the bottom). The tag marks objects that should be evacuated as a priority, and is easy to see thanks to its highly reflective surface. The design and all guidance is available open access online – as long as it is used in accordance with the rules for international emblems.
