Solution

A free, modular resilience guide that equips Red Cross Red Crescent branches and community-based organisations in urban areas to lead practical, low-cost activities that strengthen community preparedness and reduce disaster risk.

Solution

A national school-based preparedness programme that uses classroom materials and a game to teach primary school children how to recognise risks and act safely in emergencies.

Contribution

A global educational simulation that challenges players to act as disaster risk managers, tasking them with protecting communities against imminent natural hazards through strategic planning and resource management. In each 10-20 minute session, players navigate one of five scenarios - tsunami, hurricane, wildfire, earthquake, or flood - where they must decide how to spend a limited budget on structural and non-structural measures.
