Slide3Focus 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
Slide4Task 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).
Slide5Task 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.
Slide6Task 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.
Slide7Three 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.
