Be Flood Ready

This two-part workshop provides school students with skills to create a map with key flood information about Southampton, and to engage in critical game play to explore flood adaptation. In Workshop 1, students will create a basic Story Map using ArcGIS Online with key information about flood risk, warnings, and preparedness advice in Southampton. Workshop 2 will focus on how people experience and respond to flooding, using critical climate games to tackle this challenging topic. The workshops will be highly interactive, with the emphasis on students learning mapping and critical thinking skills. 

We hear about flooding in the media regularly, whether in Southampton, elsewhere in England, or abroad. At this event, we invite you to learn geospatial and human research methods to learn more about past flooding to be better prepared for future flood events.
