Value of Heritage Resources in Disaster Resilience Report and Messaging Guide now available

As Oregonians have become more informed about the impacts of natural and manmade disasters, how can preservationists and heritage advocates translate the value of protecting heritage resources into local action?

The Oregon Heritage Commission is pleased to release a new report and accompanying messaging guide to help heritage groups communicate why historic places and cultural resources should be included in local emergency plans and their role in community disaster recovery. Check out the components here:

Value of Cultural Heritage in Disaster Resilience Report<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/Value%20of%20Cultural%20Heritage%20in%20Disaster%20Resilience%20Report%20and%20Messaging%20Guide%20FINAL.pdf>:  Includes case studies in heritage and disaster, risk communication techniques, and outlines the methodology that gathered input from a team of stakeholders to survey heritage leaders statewide for the creation of the messaging guide.
The Messaging Guide<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/Value%20of%20Heritage%20Messaging%20Guide.pdf>: Shares guidance on creating an opening, impact, and approach message along with samples statements you can modify to fit your needs.
Sample Talking Points<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/Sample%20Talking%20Points.pdf>: Provides cut and paste messages to tailor to your audience.
Sample Opinion<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/Sample%20Opinion%20-%20Editorial%20on%20Disaster%20Planning.pdf>: Shares a sample editorial on disaster planning.
Tips for Communicating<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/Tips%20for%20Communicating%20Community%20Heritage%20Values%20in%20a%20Disaster.pdf>: Summarizes FEMA's top 4 tips in disaster risk communication.

Use these tools to begin a conversation in your group or community about why heritage resources matter to your local identity and then brainstorm who in your community could benefit from understanding that connection. Messages and tips from these documents can help when you meet with elected officials, write press releases, or make social media posts to the general public. These tools can also be used in conjunction with the Community Disaster Resilience Planning for Heritage Resources Guidebook<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/CDRHR_GuidebookWeb.pdf> to kickstart a community-wide disaster planning effort focused on heritage resources.

This report and accompanying tools support the Oregon Heritage Commission's strategic priority of promoting the value of heritage. Find this and additional tools in the Sharing the Value of Heritage Toolkit<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Pages/tools.aspx> on Oregon Heritage's website.
