Climate Change Adaptation and Risk Reduction Technology and Strategies to Improve Community Resilience (CARTS) Project, Westmoreland

The project aims to enhance disaster risk reduction capacities in the town of Savanna la Mar and three communities, namely Russia, New Market Oval and Llandilo Phase 1. This will be achieved by: implementing floodwater control, coastal protection measures and early warning systems to improve the communities’ disaster risk management capacity; utilising ecosystem-based alternatives to enhance the livelihood options for community residents in Russia and New Market Oval; and improving the resilience of physical infrastructure and natural barriers to floods and other hazards.
