Crisis / Risk Communication

After the 1995 Kobe earthquake, residents of North Rokko used the participatory Machizukuri model to create alternative reconstruction plans, forming neighbourhood associations that strengthened community resilience and civic engagement.

Case

Structured collaboration among stakeholders to enhance community resilience

Case

Cette démarche s’inspire de l’expérience québécoise du Regroupement des Organismes Humanitaires et Communautaires pour les Mesures d’Urgence à Montréal (ROHCMUM). Les outils de préparation aux situations d’urgence développés par l’AFPCNT, associés à des ateliers collectifs, permettent aux associations réunionnaises volontaires de réaliser leur Plan de mesures d’urgence et de solidarité.

Contribution

A global student-led programme that helps schools embed sustainability and environmental action into their curricula, campus, and communities through a structured Seven Step methodology.

Case

The 'Emergency Awareness' Workshops aims to strengthen people and community preparedness in crises and emergencies. The workshops are designed to align preparedness activities with crises that have a high likelihood and high societal impact: hazardous materials incidents, flooding, extreme weather, blackouts, epidemics and wildfires. The workshops use an interactive, small group serious game to introduce concrete preparedness actions. Participants jointly prepare a fictional persona for an upcoming crisis and later reflect on what these actions mean for their own situation.
