Flood Action Week is an opportunity for your whole school community to strengthen understanding of local flood risk and take practical action to prepare for flooding.
Did you know?
Around 6.3 million homes and businesses, and nearly half of England’s 20,000 schools, are in areas at risk of flooding.
Climate change means we’re experiencing wetter winters and drier summers, with a greater likelihood of intense rainfall that can lead to sudden and severe flooding.
Flood ready? Or not?
Flooding can happen even after a dry summer. Have you explored the flood risk around your home, your journey and your school?
Subject leads and teachers
Use FREE Environment Agency resources to deliver assemblies, lessons or tutor-time activities that explore flood risk, climate change and flood resilience through local geography. View the Flood Action Week resources here.
Inspire children and young people
Help pupils investigate why flooding happens, how communities adapt, and how flood risk is managed using Environment Agency and GA resources. Browse the full collection of resources here.
Download the Environment Agency’s leaflet about inspiring the next generation here.
