Management of Cultural Heritage in Earthquake Induced Crises – Republic of Croatia Perspectives and Policies

Cultural Heritage in the Republic of Croatia faced numerous challenges in 2020. COVID-19 public health crisis struck the world in Spring 2020, leading to complete or partial lockdowns worldwide, making cultural heritage sites inaccessible and unavailable for tourists and visitors, depriving sites from significant revenue, indispensable for their preservation. Apart from this global crisis, parts of the Republic of Croatia faced destruction and damaging of cultural heritage caused by strong earthquakes – in March 2020, with strong impact on capital city of Zagreb and nearby region, and in December 2020, impacting mostly Banovina region, with cities of Petrinja, Sisak and Glina facing human casualties, and infrastructural damage. The paper deals with global perspectives of heritage preservation, with emphasis on crisis management, and gives an overview of specificities of policies and perspectives of emergency situations in the Republic of Croatia.
