Cultural Heritage Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)

Cultural Heritage Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) involves protecting important historical sites, monuments, and traditions from damage caused by natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, or storms. It combines understanding the risks, planning preventive measures, and preparing communities to safeguard their cultural assets. This approach aims to preserve our history and identity while minimizing losses and ensuring these valuable sites can be enjoyed by future generations. Essentially, it’s about integrating disaster resilience into the care and management of cultural heritage, ensuring both safety and preservation are prioritized.
