Graphic Artist: Jenny Capon Visual meeting minutes from the Building Public Health project workshop. Title: "Building Public Health: Resilience to Fluvial Flooding in Scotland" A visually rich and colourful infographic illustrates the connections between public health and resilience to fluvial (river) flooding in Scotland. The design features flowing water with embedded words and illustrations representing key themes, including mental health, cross-sector collaboration, and knowledge gaps. Key elements: Mental health is highlighted as a major impact of flooding, affecting everyone but particularly vulnerable groups. Terms like "depression," "stress," and "anxiety" appear in swirling water. Co-production and collaboration with affected communities, experts, and policymakers are emphasized as crucial for resilience. Tailored information and clear communication are needed before, during, and after flooding events to help communities prepare and respond effectively. Empowering children through education and school flood drills is noted as an important strategy. Policy integration is essential for embedding flood resilience into public health efforts, with mentions of "joint policies" and "ownership of responsibilities." The importance of social networks, financial support, and understanding motivations for returning home post-flooding is highlighted. The bottom of the image shows people engaging in discussions and knowledge-sharing, reinforcing the theme of collective responsibility. Logos of the University of Glasgow and CREW (Scotland’s Centre of Expertise for Waters) are in the bottom right corner, indicating the organizations behind the project.
