Preparation<br />
A little prior preparation can help to make the field trip a<br />
success. Note the following:<br />
• If at all possible, visit the sites <strong>of</strong> the field trip beforehand.<br />
• Select places where different flood risk management<br />
measures have both been successful and unsuccessful.<br />
• Once you have decided on a location, make sure to advise<br />
the community in-charge and others that you will be working<br />
with that you will be coming and when.<br />
• Prepare a short description <strong>of</strong> the places to be visited,<br />
the events or activities to take place there, and any other<br />
necessary information such as the distance and the time to<br />
get there.<br />
• Give a short presentation in which you describe the different<br />
places that the group will be visiting and point out what floodrelated<br />
points <strong>of</strong> interest need to observe in each place.<br />
• Distribute a copy <strong>of</strong> the short description <strong>of</strong> the locations to<br />
be visited to each participant after the briefing on the field<br />
trip.<br />
