Recovery, Renewal, Resilience

Those already strained by COVID-19:

• This could include using GIS mapping to consider allocation of resources and areas most likely to be worst affected. For example, the sorts of mitigations needed to minimise transmission of the virus during evacuation and sheltering
• Analyse existing strategies to develop disaster-plus-COVID-19 scenarios. Thinking of Hurricane Katrina as an example, 20,000 people took refuge in the Superdrome stadium. Disasters like this force people to gather in close proximity in higher numbers than recommended by health authorities for countering the COVID-19 outbreak
• Consider also that vulnerable people are particularly affected by disasters and infectious diseases and may already be disadvantaged through COVID-19

They may consider adopting the Global Risk Assessment Framework (GRAF) as a framework to track, respond to- and reduce the impact of expected cyber-attacks.
