This clip of flooding should be shown as a "Do's & Don'ts" for floods in UK

I saw his on the BBC news site this morning...Can you spot where people have concreted EVERYWHERE and then try to drive through the floods only to get stranded....Education also needs to reach adults!

Have the Pitt Review people seen this by the way? This is a REALLY useful way of showing how flooding can be exacerbated by making the wrong decisions, from concreting your 'garden' to driving through flooded areas only to need 'rescuing'. This is also a great resource for educators and teachers. Show it to your students and then ask them to spot why some people were flooded more severely than others!
