Within the CONECT project “Collective Networks for Everyday Community Resilience and Ecological Transition” led by the UPO (ERA-NET/ENUTC 2021, PCI2022-133014 funded by the AEI and the EU with the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan) a resilience assessment model applied to the city of Antequera (Málaga, Spain) has been presented at the TECHNOHERITAGE Conference.
This model evaluates resilience from an interdisciplinary approach, with the analysis of the variables that affect Cultural Heritage in small and medium-sized cities.
In this context, the municipality of Antequera carries out diagnoses and as a consequence has carried out 2 annual simulations of earthquakes, floods or fires in cultural heritage properties in which emergency professionals and citizens were included in order to train, coordinate and evaluate protocols to improve their response to emergencies. The results showed the need for safeguarding plans for cultural heritage sites (churches, archives, museums, libraries,...), the formation of interdisciplinary teams including firefighters, civil protection with their volunteers, police, health emergency experts, owners and managers of cultural heritage, as well as diagnostic experts (restorers). A key part of these drills has been to train and inform the population of the hazards in order to be prepared for disasters and to include young people from the local community.
