The aim for the project was to develop a risk analyse tool for measuring the fire safety level in Cultural Heritage buildings of Visby, Gotland. In 1995 Visby were taken into the Unesco:s World Heritage List with the explanation ?Visby is an outstanding example of a Northern European walled Hanseatic town which has in a unique way preserved its townscape and its extremely valuable buildings? One of the demands for the tool was that it should be easy to use and result into a ranking level in examined buildings. The user of the tool is recommended to be personnel in the fire department. To develop the tool a Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) method was used. 16 parameters specifying different parts to judge the fire safety was developed. A hierarchy was used to formally establish the interactions between the detailed parameters defining fire safety and higher order of strategies, goals and top policy. The top policy for the project was defined as: provide an acceptable level for fire safety in case of fire. The tool has been successfully used on several buildings Experiences from fire prevention measures and efforts from Eksjö, Jönköping och Norway are presented and evaluated. Also an effort to create a European model for protection of Cultural Historic buildings is shortly discussed.
