The kit consists of four thematic sections:
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.
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.
The project consists of three structured workshops: Explore (building awareness of risk and resilience through storytelling and games), Experience (role-playing emergency scenarios to practice safe behaviors), and Participate (hands-on engagement via VR or the dynamic team game “Corri il Rischio”). The initiative equips children with practical skills for emergency preparedness and fosters collaboration, decision-making, and climate crisis awareness, positioning Feel Safe as a pioneering model for integrating technology and education in resilience-building.
“Who’s most at risk?” is a tested and freely available educational toolkit consisting of teacher’s notes, pupil activity sheets, character profiles, key-word lists, chance cards and hazard scenario cards. It supports a 15–20 minute role-play in which pupils adopt the identities of people living in different parts of the world and physically move forwards or backwards according to statements about age, income, education, housing, disability, location and access to information or savings.
The toolkit is aimed at school disaster management, risk prevention, and community awareness. It contains three integrated parts, which are a Participatory School Disaster Management handbook, a school disaster management plan form templates for school use and annual review, and student & community participatory activities.
It is designed to be updated over time (ring-binder approach) and adapted to different contexts.
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.
Safecast designs and deploys open hardware and software tools that enable citizens and experts to collect, share and access high-quality environmental data. Originating from a post-disaster information gap, Safecast promotes transparency, public trust and evidence-based decision-making through open data and community-driven monitoring.
Safety tips combines a traveler-focused safety website and a push-alert smartphone app to help people in Japan react quickly during hazards.
It provides multilingual alerts (e.g., earthquake/tsunami/weather) and practical guidance such as evacuation flowcharts and helpful phrases for communicating locally.
The emergency section organizes procedures to follow for multiple scenarios (earthquake, tsunami warnings, evacuation information, volcanic warnings, heat stroke alerts).
Get Ready (NEMA - New Zealand) is a national preparedness platform that offers practical instructions for preparing for and responding to multi-risk emergencies (before, during, and after).
The site addresses the problem of low self-sufficiency in a crisis, promoting family/community plans, kits, and supplies (e.g., water and grab bags). It includes specific guidance for vulnerable groups (disabilities, the elderly, children) and pets, with accessible and multilingual resources.
