From disaster and damage, through trauma to recovery

摘要

The report was commissioned by Cumbria CC from Hugh Deeming of HD Research. It describes how, although Storm Desmond was Cumbria's third extreme flood event in a decade, its impact was 'unparalleled in many respects...in terms of record rainfall and river flows, the number of properties flooded and flood affected and also in terms of the pressure that dealing with those impacts placed on all organisations with a role in response and recovery'.
