The project focuses on developing feasible and tailored solutions for building the resilience of cultural heritage to floods and events of heavy rain. In addition, it helps regional and local authorities prepare measures and evacuation plans in emergencies. The outputs and results aim to improve cultural heritage protection, management, sustainable use and valorisation in a changing environment. Output The primary outcome of the project is the development of a set of tools in support of policy and decision-makers for the development of measures and strategies of preparedness with short and long-term perspectives aiming at the protection of cultural heritage in Central Europe exposed to extreme events linked to climate change (hefty rains, flood, and fire due to drought periods): a WebGIS tool for risk mapping; a vulnerability rate for each pilot site in the target regions, integrated into the WebGIS tool for risk assessment; a decision support tool for analysing the criticalities determining the vulnerability of cultural heritage; a manual to support policymakers and decision-makers in the management of cultural heritage. Moreover, pilot actions aimed at developing local emergency plans for improving capacities in risk management were carried out.
