The ICCROM-FAR application has been developed based on the more than ten-years on-field experience within the framework of ICCROM’s Flagship programme, First Aid and Resilience for Cultural Heritage in Times of Crisis (FAR). This app, which has been widely tested outside Europe, allows for assessments in multi-hazard contexts, while providing an on-the-ground field-tested framework to plan, design and implement first aid interventions, as well as help governments define priorities in the aftermath of large-scale emergencies and disasters.
