Flood Resilience Challenge Game

 The Flood Resilience Challenge game was co-designed by Evalyna Bogdan (environmental and disaster sociologist) and Heather Murdock (hydrotechnical engineer). The purpose of the Flood Resilience Challenge is to build the capacity of stakeholders to improve flood resilience and enhance flood risk governance, including (collective) decision-making. Players take on the roles of stakeholders. In the first round, players plan for different types of flooding and communicate with each other on which flood risk management measures to employ. In the second round, there is a flooding event and players re-evaluate their past decisions and make future plans. Players then debrief about their strategies and experiences, providing further learning opportunities. Visit frcgame.com for more details.
