Damage refers to the direct impact – total or partial destruction of physical assets existing in the affected area. Damage occurs during and immediately after the disaster and is measured in physical units. For the Heritage Sector, the destruction of heritage buildings or irreplaceable assets which have survived for centuries cannot be measured purely in monetary terms. Under this framework, damage estimates will provide an initial indicator of reconstruction requirements.
Losses refers to the indirect impacts, calculated as changes in economic flows arising from the disaster, such as in this case, the lower revenues due to declines in ticket sales and donations, temporary closing of culture-related facilities, cancellation of scheduled exhibitions and activities, the loss of revenue associated with any annual or recuing cultural event – such as carnivals, music festivals, fairs and cultural festivals. Equally included are the cost of provisions of temporary safety measures to prevent damages or their aggravation, the cost of storage or relocation of moveable goods and objects of cultural value, including the costs of providing adequate conservation/protection systems. Losses occur until full economic recovery and reconstruction is achieved, in some cases lasting for several years, and they are expressed in pre-flood values.
Methodology: Due to the unique nature of tangible heritage assets, overall generalizations about damages and losses are difficult to make. As such, damages (and related economic losses) should ideally be estimated for each individual structure, asset, site or group of buildings due to the highly heterogeneous nature of heritage elements. However, considering the overwhelming number of structures and assets damaged or lost by the floods, and the very short timeframe for this assessment, the RAPID ASSESSMENT adopts, in general, gross estimates and a sample approach to estimated damage and losses.
Keeping in mind that the results of this exercise aim to provide an estimate at the country level, we established a methodological approach to enable the estimation of the overall cost of damages and losses for the sector in each province. In order to assess the Heritage Structures and Sites, limited information was available, especially regarding privately owned assets. This information, combined with provincial reports enabled us to calculate a gross estimation which should be treated with caution and should not be used to determine an estimate per site/structure.
