Cultural Heritage Administration to Conduct Cultural Heritage Safety Education Until November

Conveying Disaster Prevention and Initial Response Methods through Theater, Video, and Practice

On the 17th, the Cultural Heritage Administration announced that it will conduct cultural heritage safety education until November. Through plays, videos, and practical training, it will inform participants about disaster prevention methods and initial response techniques.

The target audience is approximately 2,180 people. This includes safety guards stationed at 159 important wooden cultural heritage sites, residents of folk villages, temple officials, cultural heritage care workers, and elementary school students. Education for the mostly elderly folk village residents will be conducted in an easy-to-understand manner through plays. An official stated, “The program will mainly cover action guidelines during disasters and cases of electrical and gas accidents.” They added, “For elderly or mobility-impaired residents, transportation services to the training venue will be provided. Home visits for residents who find it difficult to attend are also being considered.”

Children’s safety education will also be conducted in the form of plays. It will explain the value and importance of our cultural heritage, cases of cultural heritage damage, and action guidelines during disasters in a way that matches their level of understanding. For safety guards and cultural heritage care workers, practical and training-focused programs will be offered. An official said, “Based on disaster response guidelines, we plan to focus on strengthening the expertise of cultural heritage site managers.”
