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.

A short video series that teaches kindergarten-age children fire safety through a puppet character and simple, memorable stories.
The episodes explain practical fire prevention and safe behaviour in a child-friendly way and introduce the role of firefighters, fire station equipment, and what happens during an emergency. The series is published online so educators and families can use it repeatedly in classrooms or at home.

A modular fire safety education programme for secondary schools that helps teachers build students’ practical knowledge and safer behaviour.
BFireSafe@School provides structured learning content (units/modules) supported by digital components (e-learning/LMS), enabling schools to integrate fire safety into classroom delivery in a consistent and repeatable way. It was developed through a multi-country consortium and is made available in multiple languages to support transferability across education systems.

The Disaster Recovery Toolkit for Local Government is a modular guide that helps local authorities prepare for, manage, and sustain disaster recovery across the full recovery timeline.

A community training programme that turns residents into organised, trained volunteers who can support emergency response and recovery in their neighbourhoods.

A practical household preparedness guide that helps people manage the first 72 hours of an emergency when essential services may be disrupted. 

This guide provides practical strategies for engaging children as active participants in disaster risk reduction. It frames children not merely as vulnerable groups but as agents capable of contributing ideas, identifying risks, and supporting community preparedness. Through participatory methods, case studies, and hands-on activities, the guide demonstrates how children can be meaningfully involved in planning, prevention, and resilience-building at the community level.

COPE Disaster Champions provides free illustrated children’s books, educational jingles and a digital platform to teach disaster preparedness and risk awareness. Through storytelling, visuals and simple action-oriented messages, the initiative empowers children to understand risks and adopt safe behaviours before, during and after disasters.

Local Resilience Agents (LRAs) are community members trained in disaster risk reduction, first aid, and search and rescue to supplement local government capacity and disseminate early warnings.

The Fire Kills campaign (UK) aims to reduce deaths and injuries from home fires by promoting prevention, early detection, and escape plans. The focus is on increasing the number and proper placement of smoke detectors (including interconnected ones) and improving safe behaviors at home. It offers practical advice on common risks and what to do in the event of a fire. It focuses on vulnerable groups (elderly, disabled, and hearing-impaired) and provides information on possible local home fire safety visits.
