How will these resources help you?

Tropical storms feature widely in Natural Hazards units as climatic hazards across GCSE and A-level syllabuses. Students often struggle in answering questions on their formation. These resources explain this in different formats, and also investigate the experience of surviving such an event through eyewitness testimony. A range of storms are analysed, supporting GCSE students with interpreting storm track maps, cones of uncertainty and storm surge vulnerability. Similarly, A-Level students can practise through evaluation and interpretation of geographical information. The resources also consider the response at local, governmental and non-governmental levels. In an age of increasing environmental vulnerability, adaptation and mitigation are vital if we continue to live in coastal settlements. These resources prepare students for questions on cause, effect and response, and allow them to assess the extent to which contrasting levels of wealth plays a role in the ability to respond.
