Book Description

Excerpt from Historic Preservation Response Methodology: Based on the Hurricane Katrina Model Hurricanes Katrina and Rita (august, September although causing a great deal of damage, provided an important learning tool in developing processes, identifying challenges and generating solutions in responding to extensive cultural resource issues in a disaster. Involving technologies such as geographic information systems or global positioning systems in strategies for a large-scale compliance with historic preservation laws proved invaluable in identifying potential cultural resources, in evaluating those resources for their eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places, and in providing important treatment measures during long term recovery efforts. Properly implemented, the same methods can be applied to any size or type of disaster in a cultural resource response, or even extend to compliance with related regulations.
