UNESCO’s 9 October report said the Republic of the Congo’s culture ministry and UNESCO held a 14–16 September workshop on resilience of cultural and natural heritage to climate-related crises and disasters. The Heritage Emergency Fund supported it.

About 30 participants included heritage officials, civil-protection personnel, site managers, community representatives and experts. A fire-safety exercise at the Marien Ngouabi Museum demonstrated firefighting equipment; the source reports training, not measured reductions in disaster damage.
