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.
