None

No dedicated infrastructure for disaster response

A digital platform and citizen network designed to mobilize local mutual aid and risk awareness through a "Citizen Volunteer" model before, during, and after disasters.

Contribution

A comprehensive fire prevention toolkit and guidance system designed to help residents identify and mitigate fire risks within their homes. The solution integrates a physical/digital guide with the "Home Fire Safety Checker," an online tool that categorizes household risk levels. Based on the results, the system offers tailored advice or triggers a professional home fire safety visit from local fire crews. It covers a wide range of hazards, including lithium battery safety, electrical maintenance, and specialized escape protocols for high-rise buildings.

Contribution

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

Contribution

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.

Contribution

ARC’s CBDP toolkit helps communities turn data on risks, vulnerabilities, and capacities into a practical disaster preparedness and response plan. It was developed in Afghanistan, where poverty, weak infrastructure, and environmental degradation increase the impact of floods, droughts, landslides, and other hazards. The approach is participatory (focus groups, observation, feedback) and involves local structures such as the CDMC/CDC, with actions phased into emergency, short, medium, and long-term. It also integrates environmental aspects and climate projections.
