ICCROM Member States can request three to five-day specialised workshops aimed at developing coordinated disaster risk management plans for heritage sites and institutions.
Organized as part of FAR, the workshops bring together disaster risk reduction specialists, emergency managers, civil defence personnel, first responders and/or military, to help develop on-the-ground coordination mechanisms for conducting risk assessments, risk mitigation, emergency preparedness and response for all types of cultural heritage (movable, immovable, and intangible).
The cost of a national workshop is 10-15 000 Euro. To date, ICCROM has conducted national workshops in Vietnam, Ireland, Malaysia, and with Italian Civil Protection for Jordan, Israel, Palestine and Cyprus. As a result of these efforts, eight countries have developed disaster risk management plans and procedures, as well as inter-agency coordination for reducing disaster risk for cultural heritage.
