Policy Makers

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.

Solution

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.

Solution

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.

Solution

This solution is an institutional textbook designed to provide school teachers with a structured framework for teaching civil protection as part of the compulsory Civic Education course. It offers detailed modules covering the history of the National Civil Protection Service, the scientific basis of diverse hazards, and practical self-protection measures. The textbook serves as an official reference to foster a culture of prevention and community resilience from an early age.

Solution

The solution provides ready-to-use, scenario-based materials that help organisations simulate cyber incidents and strengthen their response coordination and decision-making capacity. The packages include facilitator guides, scenario narratives, injects, and evaluation tools that enable organisations to conduct structured discussion-based exercises without requiring technical simulation infrastructure. 

Solution

A community-based educational board game that helps participants learn about natural hazards, preparedness actions, and response behaviours relevant to island environments. It is supported by a structured facilitator manual to ensure accurate learning outcomes.

The solution aims to increase disaster risk awareness and preparedness through interactive learning, enabling participants to recognise local hazards, understand appropriate preparedness actions, and discuss risk-reducing behaviours relevant to Seychelles island communities.

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

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.

Solution

The Tokyo Resilience Project is a city-wide preparedness programme that equips residents with practical tools and learning experiences to improve everyday disaster readiness.

In practice, the project operates as a multi-hazard resilience “umbrella”: it strengthens physical protection (e.g., regulating reservoirs and river measures; coastal protection and sea-level-rise readiness; upgrading buildings and lifelines) while also trying to make preparedness “everyday” through accessible products and outreach. Examples of public-facing outputs include:

Case

Provides emergency managers and disaster preparedness professionals with practical, step-by-step guidance for designing and conducting simulation exercises that test and strengthen response plans, procedures, and coordination systems across all hazards.
