Development of environmental indicators to support post-hazard reporting in UK overseas territories
Summary
A government advisory body required support to develop post-hazard indicators to assess the impact of hurricanes on the built and natural environment in two British OTs.
How we helped
Little Blue Research supported an engineering consultancy to identify post-hazard impact indicators relevant to hurricanes in the Caribbean, and developed a framework to support the integration of indicators into government processes. Little Blue Research supported the development and review of a framework outlining short and long-term indicators and the protocols for their use.
