It involves nine partners of seven Central European countries. STRENCH proactively targets the needs and requirements of stakeholders and policymakers responsible for disaster mitigation and the safeguarding of cultural heritage assets, fostering the active involvement of citizens and local communities in the decision-making process. Output STRENCH outcomes aim at contributing to and capitalising on EU-funded projects results to improve capacities of the public and private sectors to mitigate the impacts of climate change and natural hazards on cultural heritage sites, structures, and buildings at risk. It was specifically tailored and robustly implemented to propose readyto-use solutions (WebGIS tools, hazard maps, methodology for vulnerability ranking, strategies for disaster risk reduction) for assessing climate change effects in order to define strategies for the protection of cultural heritage at risk, assisting local stakeholders in improving their know-how on the process of definition of priorities of intervention and strategies (preparedness/emergency/ recovery).
