SWIFT survey
The Central Statistical Office of Saint Lucia will undertake the SWIFT Survey (Survey of Well-being via Instant and Frequent Tracking). This survey is targeted at resident households and a multi-stage, random sample of the population will be selected. The survey seeks to collect information on the relationship between poverty level and disaster risk. The survey also seeks to:
- Estimate income levels of the population
- Assess how different population segments respond to disaster risk reduction programs or services
- Assess natural disaster experiences of the population
- Assess disaster perception and behaviors
- Estimate the level of preventive measures
- Estimate disaster risk perception (subjective resilience)
- Estimate the quantity and quality of investment in housing
