Personal experiences of flooding and flood risk

This section asks for your personal experiences and understanding of flood risk in your area. It is very useful to reflect on personal and/or local experiences when you are thinking about how you might relate to other people and engage them in a conversation about flood risk. Considering other people’s experiences, knowledge and priorities is especially important if you are hoping to encourage them to give their time to being part of a flood ambassador group or take action for flood resilience in other ways.

We will want to look at these in detail and refine them. We might also want to look at them in terms of useful baseline data on the trainees and their previous experiences and awareness of flood risk.

Please add any further comments you want. You can also do this writing in your own notebook as it might be useful reflection for helping you plan with a group and for talking to other people.
