Creating Changemakers: A Serious Game for Disaster Preparedness

At a time of uncertainty, we need resilient citizens and communities who are aware of potential challenges before disasters strike. To facilitate the emergence of such resilience we need a cultural change that brings disaster response from the public level to the local citizen and to communities. To increase disaster awareness, build capacity, facilitate local action and train trainers will develop a serious game on a physical tabletop that allows individuals and communities to work with a moderator and to simulate disasters and individual and collective action in their locality, to mimic real-world scenarios using game mechanics.
