What is VIPER?
VIPER stands for Vulnerability Indicators for Properties in Emergency Response. VIPER contains two key elements, firstly it is a set of data policies and procedures that enable vulnerability indicators to be quickly shared during an emergency. Secondly, VIPER is a software tool that processes this data, visualises it, and allows emergency responders to identify the location of vulnerable households during an emergency.
The project, funded by , aims to work with partner councils in the North East of England and use learnings from Cumbria’s VIPER model to identify outcomes, prototype or scale solutions for wider Local Resilience Forum (LRF) benefit. Local Resilience VIPER is proud to be a Local Digital funded project.
