Stories of resilience

Focus

Stories of Resilience provides students with opportunities to engage with building community resilience in a flood event. These resources explore how resilience is based on preparedness, current and up to date information, appropriate decision making, personal agency and dealing with human, economic or social losses to rebuild.

These resources use scenarios, stories and learning challenges to develop students’ skills in understanding how to plan and prepare for flood events, how to apply information from reliable sources and government agencies, when and how to evacuate, where to go, how to survive and how to rebuild and connect with their community.

This teaching resource includes:

  • Building Resilience
  • Becoming Resilient
  • Discussion Task
