Flood histories, flood memories and informal flood knowledge in the development of community resilience to future flood risk (2012)
Presentation / Conference
McEwen, L., Krause, F., Garde-Hansen, J., & Jones, O. (2012, July). Flood histories, flood memories and informal flood knowledge in the development of community resilience to future flood risk. Paper presented at 11th British Hydrological Society National Hydrology Symposium

This research emphasises the importance of informal/local/lay flood knowledges, flood memories and shared flood histories/heritage in developing community resilience to flooding. How do these knowledges relate to communities’ capacities to prepare fo...

Approaches to community flood science engagement: The River Severn catchment, UK as case-study (2011)
Journal Article
McEwen, L. (2011). Approaches to community flood science engagement: The River Severn catchment, UK as case-study. International Journal of Science and Society, 2(4), 159-180

Flood education forms a key element in preparedness strategies to increase flood risk awareness, and empower floodplain communities to act to manage personal risk. Flood science is variably part of education programmes, and yet has potential to incre...
