Introduction: In this project, we will deveop an analytic model which will allow effective management of resources during storm resources

Objectives: The main objectives for this project are as follows:

1)       Development of a data requirements specification, including a target mapping document, and assessment of data source quality.

2)       Development of a pilot of the Analytic model to allow trial via a storm readiness application. This will also include machine learning algorithms to allow continuous improvement.

3)       Development of a dashboard to allow the model outputs to be viewed as a map and with KPI indicators. This will also allow previous storm data to be “replayed” to allow it to be viewed and analysed.
