A Development of the Flash Floods Simulation Package about Warning System

Abstract

Flash floods occurred in Thailand caused a massive damage to life and property of residents in risky community area. The objectives of this research was to develop the efficiency of the flash floods simulation package about warning system and to learning efficiency for students in targeted community in risky area. The selected sample included students and community members who live in the Ban Huai Nam Nak community, Suang Phueng, Ratchaburi, because this is a risky area that had been affected by the flash flood by applying an action research methodology. Data collection and analysis was conducted in real context. The result of research was as follows the efficiency of the simulation package was calculated by using Meguigans’s formula and the result revealed a convergence of high standard. To be applied to educate students to prevent and minimize the aftermath of disaster which this education should be initiated in school students so they can pass the learning to their parent and their relatives or to members in community where they reside. This will provoke the community about the severity of the disaster and prepare themselves to cope with the disaster in sustainable ways.
