Our Mission:

The Alliance for Response Pittsburgh initiative provides a forum for information, cooperation, and communication among emergency management organizations, first responders, and cultural heritage institutions in the greater Pittsburgh and Southwestern Pennsylvania region. Our aim is to foster a cooperative approach to disaster preparedness, emergency management, and cultural heritage protection.

Our History:

The Pittsburgh Alliance for Response Kick-off Forum was held June 4th, 2008 at the Carnegie Museum of Pittsburgh. Since that initial forum, we have held meetings each year as part of a network under the umbrella of Heritage Preservation. In early 2015, Heritage Preservation transferred several successful project, including Alliance for Response, to the Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (FAIC).

Please check out our Past Events page for more information concerning our kick-off forum.
