  1. To Row or Not to Row?A Fast-Paced Flood Risk Reduction Game!

  2. Our Changing Climate: Changing weather patterns More frequent extreme events More intense extremes => RISING DISASTER RISK Extreme rainfall intensity => FLOOD

  3. Community Investment in Disaster Risk Reduction Resilience to Flood Floodplain ~ stores & recharges Catchment basin ~ absorbs & filters Water Supply + Water Quality Healthy Ecosystem => Water Quality :

  4. RIVER BASIN & AQUIFERS:surface water +groundwater =ONE WATER RESOURCE SYSTEM Ecosystem-based management = Disaster Risk Management

  5. Goal: Reduce Risk of Flood Disasters Community Disaster Risk Reduction Team: LOCAL WATER DEPARTMENT MUNICIPAL PLANNER BOARD of HEALTH DISASTER MANAGER CONSERVATION COMMISSION CITIZEN GROUP MEMBER SUSTAINABILITY ADVISORY GROUP CLIMATE CHANGE EXPERT PARTICIPATORY! (EXPECT CONFUSION) YOU & your team

  6. Why Games for a New Climate? • Active learning “Aha!” moments • Serious, fun engagement Emotions matter! • Collective intelligence Peer-to-peer • Optimization platform ‘flight simulator’ …..for testing decisions without actual risk www.BU.edu/Pardee

  7. TEAMS = Communities Each Row is a Team Losing Teams: Acted in Vain or had Flood Disasters Winning Team: Most Disaster Managers Still Standing!

  8. GROUND(WATER) RULES 1. Game = simplified representation of realityNo questioning of game rules! Decisions are individual …but consultation with team is encouraged : ) 3. Teams win or lose Avoid disasters & become more resilient

  9. LET’S PLAY!

  10. Each Row is a Community Disaster Risk Reduction Team Each team member invests their own part of the municipal disaster management budget: HANDS OVER HEAD for Early Action: Inform public & take preventive action THUMBS UP for normal operations: Planning, training, etc.

  11. If rainfall die = 1-5 • => No problem, => stay standing! • Acted in Vain, • Say “GRRR” & Sit down! THUMBS UP Normal Operations No Disaster ! ALL TENTS Early Action

  12. IF rainfall die = 6 • => No problem, => stay standing! • Not prepared, • Say “GRRR” & Sit down! ALL TENTS Early Action => Flood ! ALL THUMBS Normal Operations
