The Barbados National Coastal Risk Information and Planning Platform (NCRIPP) is a study nearing completion to quantify coastal risk and develop a software system to serve this information country-wide. The NCRIPP follows extensive coastal baseline studies and includes assessment of eight hazards, vulnerability assessment and finally a risk assessment. The software platform is a cloud-based system that includes a large catalogue of assets, hazard overlays, and the ability to calculate damages , and mitigation alternatives.
