Vulnerability Assessment

A structured system where Japanese municipalities and welfare institutions create personalized evacuation strategies for vulnerable people, verified through inclusive drills and coordinated with local support networks.

The project consists of three structured workshops: Explore (building awareness of risk and resilience through storytelling and games), Experience (role-playing emergency scenarios to practice safe behaviors), and Participate (hands-on engagement via VR or the dynamic team game “Corri il Rischio”). The initiative equips children with practical skills for emergency preparedness and fosters collaboration, decision-making, and climate crisis awareness, positioning Feel Safe as a pioneering model for integrating technology and education in resilience-building.

“Who’s most at risk?” is a tested and freely available educational toolkit consisting of teacher’s notes, pupil activity sheets, character profiles, key-word lists, chance cards and hazard scenario cards. It supports a 15–20 minute role-play in which pupils adopt the identities of people living in different parts of the world and physically move forwards or backwards according to statements about age, income, education, housing, disability, location and access to information or savings.

The toolkit is aimed at school disaster management, risk prevention, and community awareness. It contains three integrated parts, which are a Participatory School Disaster Management handbook, a school disaster management plan form templates for school use and annual review, and student & community participatory activities.
It is designed to be updated over time (ring-binder approach) and adapted to different contexts.

The CBDRR approach developed by Solidarités International is a participatory methodology that places affected communities at the centre of disaster risk analysis, planning, and action. It combines local knowledge with technical expertise to identify hazards, vulnerabilities, and capacities, and translates this shared analysis into concrete preparedness, mitigation, and response measures implemented at community level.

EDURES provides a comprehensive conceptual and operational toolkit for assessing, planning and strengthening the resilience of educational ecosystems, enabling education authorities and stakeholders to prepare for, respond to and adapt to crises while ensuring continuity, accessibility and democratic values in education.

ROHCMUM is a formalised coalition (incorporated since 2007) that convenes community and humanitarian organisations, municipal civil security, and Québec public-safety actors.
It focuses on preparedness and operational coordination for “major disasters,” improving how organisations mobilise, communicate, and deliver support to affected populations.
Its core offer includes structured workshops (initiation, emergency measures plan, business continuity, mobilisation/coordination) facilitated by specialists.

ReBuS provides a structured methodological framework and operational tools to assess community resilience and to guide strategic planning and public action in the context of crises, emergencies, and systemic change, through a holistic, participatory and multi-level approach.

Get Ready (NEMA - New Zealand) is a national preparedness platform that offers practical instructions for preparing for and responding to multi-risk emergencies (before, during, and after).
The site addresses the problem of low self-sufficiency in a crisis, promoting family/community plans, kits, and supplies (e.g., water and grab bags). It includes specific guidance for vulnerable groups (disabilities, the elderly, children) and pets, with accessible and multilingual resources.

The Framework on Community-Based Disaster Risk Management establishes a standardized yet adaptable approach for engaging Vietnamese communities in assessing risks, planning preparedness measures, and implementing locally appropriate disaster risk reduction actions.
