Event organisation

Now that you have learned the importance of preparing for a flood, this module will help you with some ideas on how to run community events. These events are a tried and tested process to help build strong, resilient networks that don't rely on officials or emergency services.

Although creating and hosting an event may seem like a daunting task, the benefits gained from the networks created have the potential to build long-lasting and resilient communities.

You'll be able to share knowledge, resources, and expertise, and you'll be better equipped to identify and mitigate flood risks in your area.

Furthermore, hosting community events can be a fun and rewarding experience that allows you to connect with your neighbors and make a positive impact in your community. By volunteering your time and energy, you'll be playing a critical role in creating a safer and more resilient community that everyone can be proud of.

So while hosting community events may require some effort and sacrifice on your part, the benefits of doing so are well worth it. By working together, you can create a community that's better prepared for whatever challenges may come your way, including floods and other natural disasters.
