Résumé en anglais
All security measures taken in favour of buildings, suchas consolidation, maintainance, reconditioning, protection
against fire, etc., increase not only their securityfor normal purposes, but also in the event of war and
catastrophe. The historic buildings of more solid natureespecially offer the possibility of limitating damage and
of creating shelters. This supplementary protection willbe of advantage to their inhabitants and users, to whom
they offer more safety and chance of survival.Bearing in mind recent strategic development, the protective
measures of civil defence go parallel with theconservation of historic buildings, the aim of which is to
revitalise monuments and ancient districts of our towns.The material sacrifice is compensated by a greater sense
of security. The means needed for this conservation are often considerable.They are partly provided by the government,
the methods varying in different countries. The fact thatthese monuments, castles, fortresses, etc. are of great
value to civil defence, stimulates a new public interestfor their maintainance and repair.
This interest should justify government grants, not onlyfrom the cultural department, but also from the ministry
of civil defence and from funds for emergencies.Thus a double purpose is served, as can be seen in a
few countries, where the money spent for urbanisation,traffic problems and economic development, helps at the
same time the measures taken for historic buildings.Their restauration in its turn entails a social and
cultural renewal.
