Fire Recovery and Community Disaster Resilience Planning for Historic Cemeteries

Join Oregon Heritage<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Pages/default.aspx> for a workshop to learn recovery tips for cemeteries impacted by fire and explore community-wide planning for heritage resources. The free, November 17, workshop will be 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. online. The first section, offered by Historic Preservation Northwest<http://hp-nw.com/> will focus on post fire recovery in historic cemeteries, from safety issues to monument care. The second session, presented by UO's Institute for Policy Research & Engagement<https://ipre.uoregon.edu/>, will share a new model of community-wide disaster resilience planning for heritage resources. Learn how to team up with other heritage organizations in your community to develop a plan and move forward mitigation efforts. This session will explain what a community plan includes, explore the guidebook to developing the plan, and the value to collecting organizations to participate in a community plan. Register<https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwvdO-tqzgtGdBhjpD98xO4MCb70Rpza-qc> online to get Zoom access information.

Dave Pinyerd and Bernadette Niederer, of Historic Preservation Northwest, focus on historic cemetery preservation through planning, survey, and monument care. They will provide guidance regarding historic preservation based on examples and research into the impacts of fire on historic stone, mortar and cemeteries in general.

Robert Parker, with UO's Institute for Policy Research & Engagement, coordinated a team of University of Oregon students, including Melissa Graciosa, through the community planning process in partnership with the City of Cottage Grove, local heritage organizations, and Oregon Heritage. The results include individual organizational plans and a community-wide plan. Through the process the organizations discovered shared needs and goals that could then be included in the city plan. The workshop, led by Parker and Graciosa, will address the benefits of such an approach, the model process, and lessons learned.
