A 3-day long train workshop on ‘Introduction to Disaster Risk Management for Cultural Heritage’ (DRM4Heritage) delivered by the Joint Scientific Committee of Australia ICOMOS and ICOMOS New Zealand on Risk Preparedness (ANZCORP) and Flinders University.
First one ever of this kind in Australia, this course will take place at Flinders University, Bedford Park Campus (Adelaide), Alere Centre between 26-27th of July and will be followed by a field trip to the SA State Library in Adelaide CBD on the 28th of July.
The workshop will introduce the participants to the process of identifying and managing disaster risks to heritage places, including their landscape settings, archaeology, interiors, collections and movable heritage. The workshop will include two days of lectures and workshops and one day in the field to put theory into practice. It will be delivered on campus at Flinders University, but will also be available via a dedicated Teams/Zoom link.
The course takes a multi-hazard approach and will engage multiple areas of expertise ranging from emergency management, emergency response, cultural heritage management, policy and strategic planning for disaster and include reflections from Indigenous Traditional Owners from different parts of Australia.
