Resilience grows when communities are engaged throughout their lives.
Flood resilience is strongest when learning, preparedness, and action happen from childhood, all the way up to old age.
Flood resilience develops over time, shaped by how people learn, experience risk, and support one another across their life-course. Yet too often, engagement focuses on one part of the community, missing opportunities to build long-term, shared resilience.
This webinar will explore how life-stage engagement, from young children and teenagers to parents, working adults, and older people, can create sustained, cross-generational approaches to flood preparedness. When engagement starts early and adapts through different life stages, it helps to:
- Build sustained awareness
- Empower families and communities to take action
- Strengthen preparedness
- Support long-term resilience rooted in lived experience
Join our speakers who will draw on Flood Resilience Innovation Project cases in the UK to share practical examples of how organisations are engaging communities in ways that recognise changing needs, roles, and capacities over time.
