Original Prompt

Infrastructure Resilience Audit: A "scavenger hunt" where students evaluate their school building for flood, heat, and smoke readiness. The worksheet should be 4+ pages.

This resource is designed to guide students in assessing the physical vulnerabilities of their school buildings concerning flooding, extreme heat, and smoke events. The primary learning objective is to identify and evaluate potential risks related to these hazards. The document includes detailed descriptions of building features and their relevance to resilience—such as HVAC systems for air quality, drainage systems for flood management, and smoke readiness protocols. Through interactive activities and checklists, students will conduct audits of various areas of the school, focusing on Flood Readiness, Heat Readiness, and Smoke Readiness. Additionally, reflective exercises such as SEE-THINK-WONDER encourage critical thinking about observed vulnerabilities and potential hazard mitigations, culminating in the development of actionable improvement plans.
