Extreme Event Game

This in-person role-playing game gives participants a taste of what it takes to build community resilience in the face of disaster. Starting with an earthquake, hurricane, or flood scenario, players work together to make decisions and solve problems during an engaging, fast-paced simulation. 

Content in the game draws on recommendations in the seminal National Research Council report Disaster Resilience: A National Imperative and has been reviewed by experts and staff of the National Academies. In addition, the developers tested and refined the game over a two-year beta period to assure that it works well with a variety of settings and groups.
