Funders: EPSRC Grant: EP/FP202511/1 Communicating flood risk science at the academic- practitioner interface Meghan Alexander * Hazel Faulkner * Christophe Viavattene * Sally Priest * Simon McCarthy Are we lost in translation?

Funders: EPSRC Grant: EP/FP202511/1 Mounting pressures on a broader base of practitioners, with less formal training in flood science Science- practitioner communication Increased flood risk Pressure to deliver pragmatic flood research Identify knowledge gaps and future research The need for communication …

Funders: EPSRC Grant: EP/FP202511/1 Barriers to communication…  Scientific complexity Vs practitioner simplicity  Understanding the professional context – roles, responsibilities, constraints and institutional frameworks  Assumptions and expectations

Funders: EPSRC Grant: EP/FP202511/1 Expanding communication ‘toolkits’ * The growth of Decision Support Systems and visualisation WP3.2 sought to tailor a GIS-based flood risk assessment tool to emergency professionals  Highlighted the success of animation  Desire for interactive vulnerability assessment; user-controlled rather than expert-defined  Debates surrounding simplicity: K.I.S.S – Keep It Simple Stupid Simplistic-user friendly tools and/or simplistic information tools? WP7.3 FRMRC 1 – 4 day real-time simulation of an extreme flood event  A range of new tools are required to meet the different communication needs of emergency managers.

Funders: EPSRC Grant: EP/FP202511/1 Taking pragmatic flood research forward…  The future of visualisation and DSS  Tailoring flood research  The role of the ‘end-user’ – not a passive receiver of knowledge, but an active participant in the research process and co-producer of knowledge  The importance of “Knowledge transfer” i)Jointly assess knowledge gaps ii)Mutual learning iii)Facilitate uptake of new ideas, technologies and tools in FRM

Funders: EPSRC Grant: EP/FP202511/1 Taking pragmatic flood research forward…  To what extent should we tailor flood research? Who determines the level of detail required? How do we negotiate sacrifices?  To what extent can decision support tools be integrated into FRM toolkit?  How might these instruments change the requirements of end- users? The nature of decision making?

Funders: EPSRC Grant: EP/FP202511/1 Acknowledgement The research reported in this presentation was conducted as part of the Flood Risk Management Research Consortium with support from the: – Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council – Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs/Environment Agency Joint Research Programme – United Kingdom Water Industry Research – Office of Public Works Dublin – Northern Ireland Rivers Agency Data were provided by the EA and the Ordnance Survey.
