In 2019, the Cologne Emergency Association of Archives and Library started to develop the idea of an “ambulance” for cultural heritage assets threatened by disasters. During the elaboration process of this state-of-the-art emergency system for stabilising and documenting fragile items, heritage experts collaborated with professionals from the city’s fire brigade conservators, archivists, librarians and volunteers so as to to guarantee its compliance with fire brigade standards and ensure its effectiveness in the field interventions.
KEYWORDS: preparedness, cultural heritage, assets documentation.
