Climate change is producing an increase in the severity and frequency of hydro-meterological hazards, such as hurricanes, storm surges, flooding, landslides and debris flows. Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are particularly susceptible to such hazards because of their limited economic base. Furthermore, the inhabitants of SIDS tend to live near the coast and along river valleys: both are high-risk locations. The first priority of the UN’s Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction is understanding disaster risk. To that end, the CommonSensing project is using satellite remote sensing data as the basis for an Augmented Reality application to support understanding of local “risk landscapes” for SIDS. This paper uses a systematic literature search to establish existing guidelines for Augmented Reality applications to support understanding of risk. There is very little recent research relating to developing interfaces for Augmented Reality applications, especially for risk reduction and management. Based on the results of this study, eight recommendations have been produced to support development of Augmented Reality applications. Additionally, suggestions have been made of how to apply these guidelines to an Augmented Reality for improved risk understanding and communication within SIDS.
