“There's an expectation when you say you're a historic preservation professional, that you care more about the past than the future. That's false. Preservation professionals are very concerned about the future and they're doing their work for that purpose.” In the wake of increasingly intense weather cycles and hurricanes, a research group at @UTSA’s Center for Cultural Sustainability developed a toolkit to match historic preservation with resilience planning. Designed for Gulf Coast congregations who worship in historic buildings, the guide includes [risk assessment] tools, performance indicator tools, and a resilience roadmap, which provides basic, common-sense information about how to enhance the resilience of particular building types.
