摘要

Two novel visualisation tools on extreme flooding are considered and their appeal discussed. First, an overview of the Wetropolis Flood Demonstrator is given. This is a portable set-up that showcases what a return period of an extreme flood event is: it has been received well by the general public. Second, a novel graphical cost-effectiveness diagnostic aimed at the public and decision-makers is explained: it has already led to increasing stakeholder participation in flood-mitigation planning.
