The Severe Weather Impacts Monitoring System (SWIMS) allows us to collect data about how the services provided by Kent partners and non-public sector organisations are affected by severe weather events.

By using the SWIMS system, Kent partners can allow us to understand the impact of weather events and to plan better for the future.

Partners can use the system to:

  • record details about how their service and service users have been affected
  • record information on how they have responded to an event, both in the immediate aftermath of the event and any longer-term responses
  • view and analyse data to understand how their organisation or local area has been affected, as well as yearly and seasonal trends
  • share data with other organisations to identify common barriers and areas of vulnerability
  • share best practice, expertise and lessons learnt to support business cases for resilience actions.
