Download or read book Historic Context at Risk written by Jennifer Marie Wolfe and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study advocates the following measures to address these problems: planning objectives that integrate a historic preservation element into the local emergency management plan, the use of tools to identify and assess risk to historic resources, mitigation methods for building materials in the context of the effects of a tropical cyclone event, enactment of the responsibilities of a historic preservation coordinator, and the application of design criteria to evaluate the compatibility of new development in the historic district. The combination of the planning initiatives results in an interdisciplinary program of disaster management that expands the scope of traditional disaster planning methods. Insufficient planning for a tropical cyclone event can lead to avoidable loss of historic fabric. These disasters are predictable in terms of their nature and ability to have a devastatingly widespread impact, which previous hurricane seasons have exhibited. This study concludes that adopting planning initiatives to reconcile historic preservation with diverse mitigation opportunities for a tropical cyclone event will benefit preservation of the historic context in Cedar Key, Florida. The initiatives recommended in this study can serve as a template for other similarly vulnerable areas by recognizing a method to integrate historic preservation and local emergency management procedures.
