Coastal regions, particularly the Mississippi Gulf Coast National Heritage Area (MGCNHA), face increasing risks from natural hazards like hurricanes and coastal flooding. Cultural resources, particularly public art, is vulnerable to disasters, and often aids in building resilience to and facilitating recovery from disasters. Currently, no centralized inventory exists for public art in the MGCNHA, hindering efforts to protect these assets that contribute significantly to community identity, cultural tourism, economic development, and post-disaster recovery. This research is projected to address a critical gap in disaster management by focusing on the vulnerability of public art within the MGCNHA. This study will aim to answer two key questions: 1) What is the spatial distribution and typology of public art across the MGCNHA? and 2) How can these spatial data be combined with environmental and socioeconomic information to calculate risk to natural hazard events? The methodology will involve conducting a systematic field inventory of public art across the MGCNHA using ArcGIS Survey123 to document data such as location, typology, and condition of each work. These data will be integrated into Geographical Information System alongside FEMA's National Risk Index data. A risk index score will be calculated for each artwork based on hazard frequency, material vulnerability, and piece-specific resilience factors. The result will be a publicly accessible database of public art in the form of an ArcGIS data layer and StoryMap. This resource can support cultural tourism in the MHCNHA and provide emergency managers with information surrounding the risk of public art to natural hazard events. This project could also serve as a model for other jurisdictions or be expanded to include other cultural resources.
