Flood resilience game
The Flood Resilience Game is an educational game that allows players to experience, explore, and learn about the flood risk and resilience of communities in river valleys. The game is designed to help participants - such as NGO staff working on flood-focused programs - to identify novel policies and strategies which improve flood resilience. The game was developed in collaboration with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, and with funding from the Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance.
Players take roles of members of different citizen groups (workers, farmers, entrepreneur, financial services agent), local government and water board officials. The direct interactions between players create a rich experience that can be discussed, analysed and lead to concrete conclusions and actions. This allows players to explore vulnerabilities and capacities leading to an advanced understanding of interdependencies and the potential for working together.
