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.

Risk Runner is an interactive video game designed for children aged 9 to 12, which transforms learning about safety into a dynamic and fun experience. Through realistic scenarios – such as floods, forest fires, earthquakes, and environmental crisis – players face challenges and mini-quizzes that teach them how to behave correctly in an emergency. The game combines racing and gamification elements with educational content, promoting awareness, prevention and resilience.
Solution
The Ritorno Com’E.Ro. project was launched by Save the Children Italia in response to the devastating floods that struck Emilia-Romagna in May 2023. Its primary aim was to restore educational continuity for children and adolescents affected by the disaster, while fostering resilience and awareness of risk prevention within the school community. The initiative ran from November 2023 to May 2024 and involved 54 classes across five schools, reaching more than 1,100 students.
