Protecting Our Past: Reflecting on Cultural Heritage and Disasters in Emergency Management

Feeling the love! 💛 A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the Australasian Institute of Emergency Services (AIES) webinar, “Protecting Our Past: Cultural Heritage and Disasters in Emergency Management.” It was an absolute pleasure meeting you all, sharing insights, and diving deep into the connections between cultural heritage, disasters, and community resilience.

"Brilliant Johanna, you're an inspiration! "

Our history and heritage are not just relics of the past; they are cornerstones of community identity, resilience, and connection. It was an honor to be invited by the AIES (SA/WA Division) to lead this conversation and connect with so many like-minded professionals who share the same drive to protect what makes us us.

"Thank you for contributing to the maintenance of our very valuable historical and cultural heritage that has, arguably, been left without a champion for way too long, leading to significant losses of items that have shaped what we are today."

Together, we can ensure that our invaluable cultural heritage—whether it’s museums, historical landmarks, or intangible traditions—stands strong in the face of future disasters.

Thank you again for your enthusiasm and support. Here’s to building a future where protecting our past is a key part of creating resilient communities. 🌟
