In the afternoon of 15 October, during the poster session, Fernanda Prestileo from CNR-ISAC, member of the INACO’s partnership, vice-president of YOCOCU and chair of the conference, presented for the ISAC research group the poster entitled “Risk and vulnerability assessment for increasing resilience of cultural heritage from natural and human made hazards in Northern Italy” (authors Alessandro Sardella, Linda Canesi, Paola De Nuntiis, Stefano Natali, Fernanda Prestileo, Alessandra Bonazza), within the framework of Topic 9 “Natural risk assessment for the protection of Cultural Heritage”.
The poster presented the “Risk Mapping Tool for Cultural Heritage Protection” (WGT) set up within the Interreg CE projects ProteCHt2save and STRENCH and currently under further upgrade in the framework of the projects Interreg CE INACO. This tool allows end-users to assess the risks induced by hydrometeorological hazards and pollution on cultural heritage at European and Mediterranean scale.
The methodology and tool presented have attracted much scientific interest, especially but not only from colleagues in Asian regions who are also often subject to extreme weather events and in search of forecasting and adaptation solutions.
