About

This comparative study used creative methods to reveal the challenges children face after being evacuated due to flooding. It focused on children's experiences following the severe flooding in England, 2013 and 2014. Children lose agency, friendships, and familiar spaces, leading to distress and disillusionment. It is crucial for flood agencies and policymakers to provide sustained attention and recognize children as contributors to community flood response.
