When Disaster Strikes: Who Gets Saved First?

When floods, heatwaves and other climate hazards strike, who gets help first? Step into the decision-maker's shoes in PREPCAP, an interactive, science-based simulation game grounded in the latest research on disaster vulnerability and preparedness. Experience how cascading climate hazards can expose hidden weaknesses in emergency response systems - and why one-size-fits-all solutions often fail. Working together, participants will navigate a realistic crisis scenario, identify vulnerable groups, make tough decisions about urgent needs and limited resources, and uncover critical gaps in preparedness and coordination. Are we truly prepared for climate disasters – and prepared to protect everyone? Join this hands-on challenge, test your assumptions and discover how research can help build smarter, fairer and more resilient communities. No previous simulation experience is required.
