Climate change is a gradual process and as we experience extreme weather events with increased frequency it is important that we record data for records.
South Dublin County Council was involved in the early trials of the WIRE (Weather Impact Register) app. The online Map Viewer and Data Dashboard, which has spatial analysis and reporting functionality, was developed to assist climate adaptation planning.
It is available to local authorities and emergency services to record extreme weather events. Several upgrades and modifications have been made to the system following the feedback from these pilots and to facilitate the rollout across the 31 local authorities.
