As hurricanes and other natural disasters become more frequent, the importance of collection care in protecting cultural heritage grows. Institutions must be prepared to safeguard artifacts, documents, and historical objects during extreme weather events. Public resources and guidelines offer essential strategies, from securing storage areas to creating detailed response plans that minimize damage. Training staff in emergency procedures and collection care techniques is critical to ensure that valuable cultural assets can be protected before and after a disaster strikes. Proper planning can make the difference between preservation and loss. Sharing these resources with both institutions and the public is vital for broader cultural preservation efforts. By collaborating and sharing knowledge, communities can protect their heritage for future generations, even in the face of increasingly unpredictable natural events. #CulturalHeritage #CollectionCare #DisasterPreparedness #EmergencyResponse #HeritageProtection

First day of the Disaster Research Days 2024 - Shaping the future of science and research for disaster risk reduction some of the topics that were discussed included: #societal #resilience #criticalinfrastructure and #publichealth in disasters #DRD24

As we start to understand the impact of Hurricane Milton, an interesting and thought-provoking article from someone who was affected by Hurricane Helene. I highly recommend reading. https://lnkd.in/eGFPy-S8

Historical research finds Britain’s 1987 hurricane exposed growing separation from nature These are some of the findings summarised in a new research paper published in Cultural and Social History and written by historians at the University of Exeter. https://lnkd.in/eVPUarc4

Interesting read for those Tribes located near the coastal shores. Mitigation and adaptation are critical elements for survival during these times of violent storms and ocean rise.

Multilevel governance in urban resilience refers to the convergence of local, regional, and national governments in addressing urban challenges. This approach, by distributing power and resources equitably among various levels of governance, creates a suitable framework for better crisis response and urban sustainability. Coordination between policymakers and local communities is key to enhancing resilience against environmental and social threats.

#Technocracy: "the bird must leave the nest to find a worm, IF the government really cared, they would set aside a few thousand acres, public land, somewhere in the southwest, even IF it just had tents, for homeless people, a place where they could garden & live free from persecution", "& this is a neutral-zone",-for the selfishness & greed of the few, nepotism of inheritors, "didn't build it, blow it up"... -1812Project: ...so what happened to those that did build all this ornate olde-world infrastructure-being destroyed- -"Sungrazer, https://lnkd.in/e_wxc_MT How The West Was Won"- -& Please go see all the abandoned homes, all the still emptied cities, several recently built with almost zero inhabitants, how many can we show, & what of the cities in which all these homeless currently trying to live in, what would be their policies- -since December 16, 1811 there has been an inversion of realities, technologies have been taken, an oligarch wanting false-profits, accumulated from "false-prophets", poisoned healthcare, education turned indoctrination, energies rationed, hoarding resource, holding progress, only for untaxed numbers- -time we all awaken from this collective-amnesia, return to our previous position, reenact our much healthier, much happier lifestyles, ridding this "anticymaticism", reliving past grandeur- -"rebirth of Magi, rebell our Cathedrals, rebuild the Pyramids"- -remember & regain our true status- -relive reality!- "bring back our lost Antiquitech, find the truths behind the myths"

On this #DisasterRiskReductionDay, let’s remember the importance of restoring woodlands and natural habitats to strengthen our resilience. Nature's ability to absorb shocks, like floods and landslides, reminds us of the hidden power of restoration. Read more about woodland and habitat restoration in the research, carried out by the team at The James Hutton Institute. ➡️https://lnkd.in/e2pf_VVj The Scottish Government #RESAS #StudentIdeas Allysha Amanda
