In April-May 2024, Brazil, particularly its state Rio Grande do Sul, was severely impacted by floods. Socio-economic and environmental damages have been reported by the Brazilian government and by major international initiatives including World Meteorological Organization (WMO). E-RIHS joins the sentiments expressed by the international community in expressing solidarity with the local populations impacted by these extreme events exacerbated by climate change.

In this context, E-RIHS issues a call to action to gather competencies to join efforts with our ANTECIPA colleagues in addressing damages to cultural heritage through knowledge transfer and sharing of best practices.

E-RIHS stakeholders willing to share their expertise to safeguard cultural heritage in those affected areas within the state Rio Grande du Sul (Brazil), are invited to contact E-RIHS Central Hub (Această adresă de email este protejată contra spambots.

INOE is the co-ordinator of the Romanian hub.
