After the rainfall records experienced by the region of Pécs (Hungary) in 2010 and their impact on the cultural heritage, the Disaster Management Directorate started to elaborate national professional protocols for the emergency rescue of heritage assets.
In addition, the positive results achieved by some initiatives aimed at developing operational capacities for the protection of cultural heritage in the pilot area of Baranya County, namely the ProteCHt2save and PROCULTHER projects, led to the development of emergency rescue and evacuation plans, the training of professionals, and the establishment of common guidelines and cooperation models.
The article highlights the outcomes that could be achieved through the involvement of local professionals, without any targeted financial resources or guidance from legislative or other supervisory bodies.
