Résumé en anglais

Urban Search and Rescue at Heritage Sites: A Guide for the Field is designed to provide Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) Teams, National Disaster Management Authorities (NDMA) and Local Emergency Management Authorities (LEMA), Cultural Ministries, Heritage Departments and Authorities (CHA), and Cultural Heritage First Aiders (CFA) with procedures to follow when carrying out operations at heritage sites that become a special operational environment following a disaster.The purpose of this document is to provide basic critical information that will enable the necessary communication and cooperation between USAR Teams and CHA in disaster areasthat are dense in cultural heritage buildings and sites. It outlines the policy, preparedness and capacities needed for providing cultural heritage first aid as part of search and rescueoperations within the International USAR Response Cycle (see also INSARAG Guidelines 2020 Vol. II, Manual B, pp. 6-7). This information is vital to ensure that search and rescue and humanitarian aid works are carried out more effectively in this special operational environment, as well as to ensure that the first response to heritage is carried out with the sensitivity it requires. This guide will help increase awareness for the safeguard of heritage in the immediate aftermath of a disaster, particularly during search and rescue. This guide may be used by international and national USAR Teams and LEMA to self-train and improve overall preparedness, ensuring inter-agency cooperation and coordination between emergency management and cultural heritage sectors.The International Search and Rescue Advisory (INSARAG) Guidelines 2020 have been used as a key source for the creation of this guide. Moreover, it draws on the standardised andfield-tested methodology for providing cultural heritage first aid, developed by the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM).
