| Abstract | The aim of the research is to develop a set of tools for improving the capacity for resilience of local communities to the impacts of extreme weather events.This will require the identification of potential EWE scenarios and modelling toolkits which allow decision makers to evaluate their potential impacts (Evidence), to develop intervention strategies and to manage the impacts (Decision Making) on the ground. In the development of such a toolkit, consideration needs to be given to both its strategic use for community resilience planning and its operational use to assist communities to recover following an EWE event. It therefore requires a detailed understanding of both, how decision makers may use EWE predictions, and how communities may react to EWE events. The wider research programme will develop and test a range of tools that support a greater understanding of the strategic issues that affect local community resilience to EWEs and provide the basis for the development of effective intervention (coping) measures for the community through local policy makers, households and businesses. The programme will use a stakeholder-led, multi-disciplinary, participatory research approach where scientists, social scientists, management scientists, engineers and geographers will work with end users to test and refine academic solutions against real life situations. This approach will ensure that programme outputs are immediately appropriate to end-users' needs. Scenarios and modelling toolkits which will allow decision makers to evaluate their potential impacts, to develop intervention strategies and to manage the impacts on the ground. In the development of such a package, consideration needs to be given to both its strategic use for community resilience planning and its operational use to assist communities to recover following an EWE event. To develop this package thus requires a detailed understanding of both how decision makers may use EWE predictions and how communities may react to EWE events. The plan for this research programme is to develop and test a range of tools that support a greater understanding of the strategic issues that affect local community resilience to EWEs and provide the basis for the development of effective intervention (coping) measures for local policy makers, households and businesses (SMEs). In order to address this aim the programme will use a stakeholder-led, multi-disciplinary research approach in which scientists, social scientists, management scientists, engineers and geographers will work with end users through a participatory approach in which academic solutions are tested and refined against real life situations. Through this approach it is believed that the outputs from the research programme will be immediately appropriate to end-users' needs. |
