Monday 17 Feb 2025

DEFRA has just published the results of the RADAR project (Reviewing Approaches for communicating Drought status And Risk) which was a collaboration between the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology and Kevin Collins in the School of Engineering and Innovation. Through a range of focus groups with different sectors, the research explored ways of improving communication of drought. 

The final report, which includes key messages and recommendations, as well as the reports of the focus groups can be found here: https://sciencesearch.defra.gov.uk/ProjectDetails?ProjectId=21729  

The project also developed an animation (in English and Welsh) about RADAR and the outcomes of the work on YouTube:
