How to manage a flood

In this activity students are asked to look at the nature of floods, how they relate to climate change, and what can be done to prevent, mitigate and prepare for them. Students begin by looking at different types of floods. They then break into groups that represent particular sectors of society, and answer questions on how that sector can prevent, mitigate and prepare for flooding, what resources are required and what obstacles may be faced. They are then asked to translate these answers into Venn diagrams that area shared with the class. Finally, students will analyse the class’s Venn diagrams.
