Summary
The project will provide evidence to develop policy to aid post-hurricane environmental recovery and enhance future resilience to natural disasters. It will use satellite data to map and model the marine and terrestrial environment in the TCI and BVI, pre- and post the 2017 hurricanes Maria and Irma. The project will share experience and learning to develop both island's expertise in relevant techniques and be integrated closely with other UK Government supported projects in the BVI and TCI.
