Assessing Risk to Cultural Property 2 online course begins March 31
This
course builds on the foundation instructor Robert Waller established in
Assessing Risk to Cultural Property 1. We will explore challenges to
quantifying risks and strategies for estimating rates of, and expected
impacts of, sporadic incidents (type 2 risks) employing examples based
on participant situations. Means of determining or estimating rates of
progressive changes (type 3 risks) are provided and practiced. Finally,
methods for presenting comprehensive, (semi-) quantitative risk profiles
are demonstrated and employed by participants.
Prerequisite: Assessing Risk to Cultural Property 1 or a Protect Heritage workshop in the last 5 years.
