Abstract
Caribbean countries face increasing risks from the pressures of population growth and climate-driven geohazards, particularly those associated with hurricanes. This study illustrates how geoinformatics can assist emergency planning and community resilience. Data from geomorphological and civil engineering surveys in Dominica, carried out after Hurricane Maria (2017), have been augmented with digital elevation models from satellite and aerial sensors Those datasets have been integrated into a "Digital Twin" of neighborhoods, on which computational fluid dynamics analysis has been carried out, modeling hurricane wind impacts. A decision support system has been produced for testing climate change scenarios, as well as the impacts on resilience of changes to building locations or building designs. The information provided via those technologies can guide decision makers, from national emergency planners, to community leaders and householders.
