From introduction: "Florida’s historic and archaeological sites help define the character of communities and draw in tourist revenue. However, these are also vulnerable to natural disasters and the impacts of coastal change, including sea level rise. Disaster planning for these sites, broadly known as “cultural resources,” is often inadequate, and frequently addressed only after a disaster has occurred. This, unfortunately, can lead to further damage occurring during recovery efforts. Over the past decade, federal and state policy makers have begun to develop strategies for improving the integration of cultural resource protection into disaster planning, but more still needs to be done. Focused on Florida, this guidebook furthers this effort by describing current emergency management and preservation planning frameworks, providing examples of disaster planning practices, and presenting new policy and planning recommendations." Project funding was provided in part by a Hurricane Sandy Emergency Supplemental Historic Preservation Fund task agreement to the University of Florida (P15AC00725) and administered by the State, Tribal, Local, Plans & Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
