amal in heritage represents our effort to fulfill the critical needs of the mena region through the three prongs of disaster relief: preparedness, response, and recovery. We have begun the amal in heritage program by developing a mobile app for responding to heritage crises as they unfold. This includes modules for training, forming crisis response teams, communicating with project leaders and team members, and cataloging damage to heritage assets useful for both heritage professionals and interested laypeople, the app can be scaled to any size of project and does not require extensive training.
