- What needs to be done to ensure your home can survive/adapt? (e.g. lift power sockets higher, add flood defence doors, drainage, water course/ditch management)
- How would you communicate if there is no communication – could you leave a message with someone?
- How would the children cope, how could you support them?
- How would elderly or vulnerable adults cope? What would be their needs and how could you support them?
