The Regional Coordination Crisis Unit of the Ministry of Culture (Ministero della cultura) (UCCR) is tasked with managing emergencies resulting from disastrous events such as earthquakes and floods at the regional level.

The proposed methodology has been applied on the provinces of Genoa and La Spezia.

I frequenti eventi calamitosi che colpiscono il territorio italiano hanno determinato una condizione di costante “stato di emergenza” per il Paese. I danni al patrimonio culturale, sia mobile sia immobile, risultano ingenti, così come le risorse economiche necessarie per le operazioni di messa in sicurezza, restauro e ricostruzione. I danni al patrimonio culturale, mobile e immobile, sono rilevanti e richiedono pertanto ingenti risorse economiche per le operazioni di messa in sicurezza, restauro e ricostruzione. L’Unità di Crisi – Coordinamento Regionale del Ministero della Cultura (UCCR) è responsabile della gestione delle emergenze derivanti da eventi calamitosi, quali terremoti e alluvioni, a livello regionale. In tali circostanze, gli edifici danneggiati richiedono l’evacuazione dei beni mobili di valore al fine di prevenire ulteriori danni al patrimonio e avviare i processi di restauro. L’UCCR svolge un ruolo cruciale nella messa a disposizione di depositi per lo stoccaggio temporaneo dei beni culturali mobili coinvolti, ciascuno dei quali è parte integrante di un sistema su larga scala costituito da una rete di depositi di emergenza. L’obiettivo del progetto di ricerca è sviluppare schede di valutazione per l’analisi dei siti proposti per l’allestimento di depositi di emergenza. Le schede proposte consentono di semplificare e accelerare il processo di valutazione, fornire una documentazione strutturata per la creazione di una banca dati dei potenziali depositi e delle loro caratteristiche tecniche, e supportare i processi decisionali. Inoltre, il progetto di ricerca propone un approccio metodologico per la redazione di un piano di emergenza in grado di identificare le superfici di stoccaggio, i sistemi di deposito e le attrezzature necessarie sulla base di scenari potenziali di alluvione e terremoto. La metodologia proposta è stata applicata alle province di Genova e La Spezia. Il piano costituisce uno strumento di riferimento per il supporto alle decisioni in fase di emergenza, adattandosi agli eventi reali e consentendo di valutare in anticipo gli arredi e gli spazi necessari per la conservazione temporanea dei beni culturali mobili recuperati. L’approccio metodologico proposto consente di ridurre i tempi necessari per l’adattamento dei sistemi di stoccaggio e di aumentare l’efficienza nell’utilizzo degli spazi dei depositi.

Abstract
The frequent disasters striking Italian territory have created a constant ‘state of emergency’ for the country. The damage in terms of cultural heritage losses, both movable and immovable, is huge, as the economic resources needed for the safeguard and securing operations, restoration and reconstruction. The Regional Coordination Crisis Unit of the Ministry of Culture (Ministero della cultura) (UCCR) is tasked with managing emergencies resulting from disastrous events such as earthquakes and floods at the regional level. During such events, damaged buildings require evacuation of valuable contents to prevent further harm to movable heritage and initiate the restoration process. The UCCR plays a crucial role in providing warehouses for the temporary storage of affected movable heritage. Each warehouse is complementary of a largescale system of warehouses network. The aim of the research project is to develop forms for assessing proposed locations for setting up emergency warehouses. The proposed forms would simplify and accelerate the assessment, provide structured documentation to build a data base of potential warehouses and their technical characteristics, and support decision making. In addition, the research project aims to provide a methodological approach for developing emergency plan that identifies needed storage area, storage systems and equipment based on potential flood and earthquake scenarios. The proposed methodology has been applied on the provinces of Genoa and La Spezia. This plan serves as a reference tool to support decision making during emergency by adapting to real events, to evaluate the necessary furnishings and space for storing rescued movable heritage. The proposed methodology would reduce the time needed to adapt storage systems and increase the efficiency of warehouses space utilization.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
