Outputs

The usual outputs from the LCLIP process are:

• A list of weather events.
• Understanding what those events meant for your organisation/s.
• A headline message.

Examples of possible hard and soft outputs are below.

Hard Outputs

The hard outputs from an LCLIP can take a variety of different forms, including:

• a short report highlighting key issues for the organisation.
• a briefing note (for elected members).
• a presentation illustrating the main messages, to be shared within the organisation and partners (for workshops, briefings and other events).
• an event or a series of events which share the outcomes with a variety of audiences both internal and external.
• a spreadsheet plus report sheets that break the results down according to the service / responsible agency.
• bar charts, pie charts, graphs, photographs and other graphic material.
• an article in the local newspaper / in-house journal.
• a posting on the local authority website.
• an internal report which provides an agenda of issues that might improve current preparedness of the organisation and a suggested programme for further investigation.

Soft Outputs

The LCLIP should help to:

• provide insights into current vulnerability and provide the platform from which to define further adaptation work.
• raise the profile of adaptation within the organisation.

There are examples of both hard and soft outputs, produced as a result of LCLIPs, in the case studies.
