Assistance Program in case of Emergencies

OWHC Assistance Program in case of Emergencies

The Assistance Program in case of Emergencies has been designed to enable OWHC member cities to better anticipate and respond to crisis situations, and to support member cities facing emergencies.

Objectives

  • Identify and prevent natural or anthropological risks.
  • Improve the preparedness of cities, taking into account their heritage, specific features and vulnerabilities.
  • Mobilize local players to implement prevention strategies.

Activities

OWHC Risk-Preparedness Checklist (The Checklist): An open-access tool to help cities evaluate and strengthen their risk preparedness.

Diagnostic reports: Produced as part of regional workshops, the reports describe the situation, and the level of awareness, mobilization and effectiveness of measures taken by cities to manage their risks.

Technical assistance: Interventions by international experts to support cities in identifying the risks they face, adopting strategies or managing an emergency situation.

Database: Gathering of information, studies and documents from member cities and sharing of experience on risk management in historic city centers.
