Review: This book explains the significance of flood education and its potential role in building flood-resilient communities. It then describes the new approach in this context, and explains how to design education plans and activities related to it. Although it concentrates on flood education, its approach can be translated to education for other hazards e.g. bushfire, earthquake, drought, tsunamis. The book focuses on Australia, but the approach can be used universally.
