Content

In the order a learner meets it. Each block is a separate thing to write, and their order is the lecture's argument.

  1. Block 1 · video

    A tour of what already exists

    10 minNo file attached in the prototype

    Before commissioning new data, a working tour of what the Department of Meteorology, the Disaster Management Centre and the National Adaptation Plan's own technical annexes already hold - rainfall, temperature, sea-level and past-event records - and what resolution each one actually supports.

  2. Block 2 · text

    National resolution is not divisional resolution

    A national hazard map is built to compare provinces, not to site a culvert. Using it to make a divisional-level decision borrows a precision the data never had, and an assessment that says so plainly is more useful than one that quietly assumes a downscaling nobody checked.
