Disaster Advice Seminar and Launch of Publication:

 Disaster Advice Seminar and Launch of Publication: 

 

     

A seminar to mark the launch of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage’s Advice Series publication, Disaster: A guide to prevention and preparedness in the historic built environment will take place on Wednesday 9^th December from 10:00 to 12:30. The purpose of the seminar is to help owners and custodians of an historic property, where possible, to prevent or reduce the risk of disaster striking their property by fire, floods, storms, lightning strikes or vandalism, and to lessen the damage caused should disaster occur. The seminar will outline how an owner can produce a disaster risk management plan (or ‘Disaster Plan’), a simple document setting out sensible measures to minimise the likelihood of an emergency and to reduce th       e extent of damage and loss should it occur. The seminar is free of charge but advanced registration is required. Please go to the Irish Georgian Society’s website (https://www.igs.ie/events/disaster-advice-seminar)for more information on the programme and how to join the seminar which will be delivered live online through Zoom.
