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 />
