“…Intangibly, historic resources contribute to place attachment, or the “bonding that occurs between individuals and their meaningful environments” (Scannell and Gifford 2010, 1) and improve the quality of life for residents (Stipe 2003; Tweed and Sutherland 2007). Historic preservation has also been shown to contribute to disaster preparedness, post-disaster recovery, and community resilience (Berkes and Ross 2013; Appler and Rumbach 2016; Henderson and Seekamp 2018; Huang 2018; Rumbach and Appler 2019; Scannell et al 2016).…”

“…Main Street communities in Colorado are eligible for specialized training, project and consulting grants, access to a historic architect, and communications assistance. We view a local government’s participation in the Main Street and CLG programs as evidence of their internal capacity to identify and reduce risk to historic properties or recover after a disaster event, and their ability to draw upon external networks and resources to help accomplish those goals (e.g., Rumbach and Appler 2019).…”

Historic resources are important community assets that may be at risk from natural hazards, but few studies examine their risk or protection. We map the location of historic resources in municipal areas in Colorado ( n = 863) and find that 16.8 percent of National Register and State Register properties ( n = 145) intersect with a mapped floodplain, as well as 74.0 percent of National Register districts. We then study fourteen case study municipalities that are representative of those with substantial shares of their historic resources in floodplains. We find that most municipalities value their historic resources but very few proactively plan for their protection from hazards.

Purpose This study aims to explore UK Business Improvement Districts' (BIDs) responses and practices to the COVID crisis and evaluates how these influenced their organisational identity. The paper aims to highlight the possible shift in BIDs' operations that can lead to their positioning as integral facilitators of place management initiatives in their local areas. Design/methodology/approach The authors stress the confused nature of BID identity and highlight how BID activities and business plans correspond to subsequent crises through the lens of crisis management and disaster management frameworks. A mixed-methods, exploratory, sequential approach was taken, incorporating interviews and survey responses from UK BID managers in two distinct phases between October and December 2020. Findings The findings of the study suggest a greater emphasis on communication strategies and the formation of partnerships during the lockdown periods, along with a renewed understanding of a BID's role towards place leadership, resilience and public safety. Practical implications The practical implications of this work show a shift in BID business practices, programmes and services and highlight the need to establish a set of industry standards and best practices with enhanced place leadership responsibilities. Originality/value The research provides a detailed snapshot of the UK BID industry during the COVID crisis and shows the possibility for BIDs to reframe their identity as locally bound, place-based organisations that have a more direct role in place management.
