The members of this specialized team have different backgrounds: they are architects, art historians and GIS specialists belonging to different offices that since 1999 have been dealing with the safeguarding of cultural heritage from natural hazards.
These experts keep constant relations with the Italian Regions, with the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities (MiBACT) and with the operational structures of the National Civil Protection System that contribute to the protection of cultural heritage (Carabinieri, Fire Brigades, Army and specialised volunteering) in the country.
Most of them contributed actively to the implementation of the activities of the PROMEDHE project (Protecting Mediterranean Cultural Heritage during Disasters) carried out by a Consortium led by the Italian Civil Protection Department from January 2016 to July 2018.
