Abstract

The scope of the present literature review is under the remit of a wider project entitled Enhancing Integration of Disaster Risk and Climate Change Adaptation into Irish Emergency Planning which is funded under the Environmental Protection Agency's Climate Topic 3 funding call. The project, which began in March 2020, is due to run until March 2021. The objective of the project is to help institutions responsible to further 'climate-proof' emergency planning and risk management systems in Ireland to the increasing risk of extreme hydrometeorological events, by addressing national policy and decision-making processes, as well as local and regional planning and response mechanisms.
