A quick flooding activity I just did...

WATERPROOF LETTERS
These are sent to households which are at risk from flooding.
They will have to print some new letters to send to households in Doncaster, Catcliffe, Rotherham and parts of Sheffield.
The letters need to contain the following:
• an explanation of the causes for flooding
• some suggestions for the preparation that should be made
• a guide for what to do should the house be flooded – health issues are a particular problem due to sewage in the flood water
• the Floodline number and details on the 4 levels of flood warning

Format: A4 double sided letter…
Addressed: Dear Householder…
And giving reasons for them receiving the letter.

Suitable websites:
http://news.bbc.co.uk – plenty of news coverage
http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk – Floodline and details
http://www.geography.org.uk/resources/june2007floods - plenty of links
http://www.thestar.co.uk/ - Sheffield local paper

http://www.games4geog.com/hp/juneflooding.htm - to do if and when you finish !

This purpose built facility occupies the same space as eight football pitches, equivalent to the length of three London Eye’s stacked on top of each other." "The 46,450 square foot Marston Gate Distribution Centre was opened in November 2000 with over 300 people involved in its construction. The centre delivers orders placed at Amazon.co.uk to customers across the country and to more than 200 countries worldwide. In the Distribution Centre there are four different picking levels in the picking tower with
