Affrontare gli eventi meteorologici estremi in contesti archeologici. Strategie di gestione dell'emergenza nel Parco Archeologico di Suasa.

The increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events - driven by ongoing climate change – pose a significant threat to the preservation of historic sites worldwide, requiring urgent adaptation of cultural heritage protection and management strategies. Archaeological sites, due to their inherent and/or acquired fragility and their intrinsic connection to the surrounding environment, are particularly vulnerable to such events. These hazards can lead to potentially catastrophic outcomes, especially under conditions of exceptional precipitation. Adopting a disaster risk management perspective, the contribution aims to underscore the critical importance of preparing for emergency situations triggered by heavy rainfall at sites housing architectural heritage in a state of ruin. Furtermore, it highlights the need for interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration, involving a range of stakeholders and expertise during crisis situations. Drawing on the work conducted in the Archaeological park of Suasa (Marche region) - already impacted by such events in the past - the article intends to reflect on the importance of carefully planning and implementing targeted measures when a weather alert is issued.
