About KJGarbutt
My name is Kurtis Garbutt and I am a researcher with an interest and speciality in international development, natural hazards occurrence and monitoring, media analysis and tracking and current affairs
I recently left a research position at the British Red Cross where I led a national floods research study aimed at enhancing the voluntary sector’s collective understanding of the needs of flood affected individuals and communities with a view to understanding how they are impacted and how recovery is best supported. My other research at the British Red Cross was focused on issues as broad as climate change and extreme weather, community resilience and vulnerability, UK hazard and risk, and UK healthcare reform.
Before working at the British Red Cross I undertook a research masters at the Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience (IHRR) at Durham University, which examined the occurrence and impact of natural hazards through the examination of Internet-based news media. Before this I read Geography BSc, also at Durham University.
