Interactive Tools

Do you want to get people thinking about flood risk? One way is to use interactive tools and games!

If you are a student, teacher, emergency planner/responder or you are involved in developing policy you will find these resources open up new conversations and pathways to action.

Are you ready to respond to flooding?

The Reimagining Rivers project explored the science of river flooding, flood risk and ideas for community resilience building. The young people involved in the project helped to develop two activities/resources that promote flood preparedness: Flooding Mucky Dip! and a flooding fortune teller.

How will you ‘Help Callum’?

The Flood Stories 360 virtual reality videos invite viewers to experience flooding and the difficult road to recovery from the perspective of young people and their families, promoting flood awareness among adults and children. We have also developed a suite of educational resources to support further exploration of the issues raised by the videos and ideas for action.
