> Business Area Here

Slide3

Focus on Health and Wellbeing

We’re going to focus on the potential effects of a tropical cyclone on

health

and

wellbeing

, but also consider other effects, too.

You have three handouts:

The many ways a tropical cyclone can kill you

The other effects a tropical cyclone might have on you

Personas

Slide4

Task 1 – many different ways to die

Using your first handout –

The many ways a tropical cyclone can kill you

- categorise the ways a tropical cyclone can kill you into:

directly - caused by the storm itself

indirectly - caused by something the storm made happen, that in turn might kill you

(These could also be thought of as primary and secondary fatalities).

Slide5

Task 2 – so you think you go away?

Using your second handout -

The other effects a tropical cyclone might have on you

-

you will estimate the potential severity, likelihood and cost of each potential impact if it were to happen to two specific people.

Follow the instructions on your worksheet.

Again, some of these will be primary, and some secondary effects.

Slide6

Task 3 – other peoples lives

You’ll need your third and final handout –

Personas

.

Personas are fictitious people who help us think about how the impacts of the same storm might vary between different people depending on their personal circumstances.

Read the four personas and complete the worksheet.

Slide7

Three things to take away

The impacts of a tropical cyclone are greatly reduced if you have money

The old, young, poor and sick are the most at risk from the impacts of a tropical cyclone, as they are the most

vulnerable

and the least

resilient

.

The greatest support should be given to the most vulnerable people who suffer the greatest impact from a storm.
