Crisis / Risk Communication

The initiative combines participatory resilience assessment, university technical support and community engagement. A December 2023 Scorecard workshop identified data-management needs, leading the municipality and university to establish a dedicated data-collection portal.

Contribution

Suryodaya connects neighbourhood organisation with municipal disaster risk governance. Its 201 Tole Development Committees support preparedness and community mobilisation, working with ward and municipal authorities. Participatory assessment and planning connect local knowledge with technical risk analysis and municipal action.

Contribution

Municipal initiative integrating persons with disabilities into DRR and infrastructure planning through disaggregated data collection, workshops with caregivers and disability organisations, and a permanent communication forum linking communities and municipal departments.

Contribution

A free, curriculum-linked first aid teaching toolkit that enables any secondary school teacher across the UK to deliver first aid education to students.

Case

An immersive game-based learning experience that teaches disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation through collaborative problem-solving. Participants work together in a three-room installation to solve quizzes and puzzles to make their simulated community more resilient to natural hazards.

Solution

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.
