The CSSF aims to:

Solution

A comprehensive digital solution that equips residents and visitors of Estonia with standardized, actionable instructions to prepare for and respond to a wide array of crises, from natural disasters to cyber-attacks. The platform features an interactive household supply checklist, first-aid instructions, and survival guidelines tailored to the Estonian context. Its mobile application is designed to function entirely offline once downloaded, ensuring that citizens have uninterrupted access to life-saving information even during severe power or telecommunications outages.

Solution

A board-game-based educational toolkit that helps children understand hazards and disaster risk reduction through interactive gameplay and structured learning activities.

Solution

A printable, facilitator-led game that teaches teenagers practical safety behaviours for floods and wildfires through riddles, cooperative mini-games, and a debrief discussion.
The toolkit places participants in a scenario where they have 30 minutes to support a local councillor by identifying “good practices” for protecting people and reducing risk. It is designed for group play (4–6 participants) with an adult activity leader and ends with a structured debrief to consolidate learning.

Solution

A free, evidence-based educational card game that teaches children aged 6–12 how to prepare for and respond to natural hazards through play.

The resource is intended for classrooms, families, and community/youth groups and is supported by printable game cards, educator support sheets, and short “how to play” videos. The game and support materials were developed using evidence and co-design input from resilience professionals, emergency responders, and education experts, and were play-tested with end users.

Solution

A primary-school preparedness programme that teaches children what to do in emergencies through interactive lessons and an online game.
Developed by the National Crisis Centre, the programme consists of downloadable interactive teaching kits structured in three levels (aligned with primary education learning objectives), parent brochures to extend learning at home, and a web-based game (“BE-Ready”) that lets pupils practice choices under time pressure in simulated emergencies.
