Writing of a Safety and Emergency Plan is not a goal, but a route made of continual updating and training
In every discipline, it is advisable to keep constantly updated on the advancements of the field. In the emergency management sector, it is more important than ever, endlessly examining the new opportunities on the market, and informing the salvage procedures for the collection.
Climate change has never threatened human life and landscapes more than today, putting also cultural heritage at serious risk. In such a circumstance, where the risks multiply and the environment changes suddenly, it is essential to be able to adapt our knowledge assets, and move towards a constant renewal of our ability to respond to emergencies.
For these reasons, an emergency management training course should be organised every year, taking into consideration the following aspects:
- Risk prevention: The concept of risk, risk variables, the probability of an event occurring, the assessment of the extent of damage.
- Risk mapping: Knowledge of the environmental context, analysis of the characteristics of the conservation building, in-depth knowledge of the collections.
- Corrective actions: Identification of intervention priorities, risk mitigation, study of products and services on the market.
- Tasks and responsibilities: Training and management of a team dedicated to emergency management, identification of tasks and division of responsibilities.
- Emergency response: How to react in an emergency, who to contact, planning of priority activities.
Never before has climate change threatened human life and the environment around us, putting cultural heritage at serious risk as well. In such a circumstance, where risks multiply and the natural environment suddenly changes, it is essential to be able to modify one’s knowledge base and move toward the constant renewal of one’s emergency response capabilities.
