The Hull study• Two-year project, funded by EA, ESRC and EPSRC• Focus on Hull where over 8,600 homes affected• Aim: To explore people’s experiences of long-term flood
recovery.
Project has many practical applications – for example, learning how to improve support for people who are affected by flooding in future…

Methods – flood experts
• Intensive, qualitative study• 45 people: “what, when and how?”• Initial interview – the story so far…• Open structure diaries (up to 18 months)• Group discussions• Steering group• Feeding into policy also – the Pitt Review and DEFRA

Cumbria Floods 2009• Given money by research councils (NERC/ESRC) to bring
together stakeholders, community members and researchers to:
A) Learn lessons from post 2007 researchB) Think about what research would be helpful in future

Feb 2010 – March 2010• Working with colleagues in School of Health and Medicine,
NHS Cumbria and Cumbria County Council• Not just learning from ‘flood’ research – other recovery-
related research e.g. on coping in communities under stress from other issues
• Community involvement in research is key SO…• National Institute for Health Research Design Service for
North West funding for community events in run-up to today
• South Ulverston FLAG 1st meeting• Community event with Age Concern at Workington• Work with 6th formers at Southfield Technology College in Workington

We’d like to know…• How do your experiences compare to those of
people in Hull? Are they the same/different? Are there particular issues for Cumbria that we should focus on?
• What issues and concerns do you have that you would like future research to address?
