Climate, Disaster Resilience, and Preparedness, represent a significant ongoing challenge for disaster management practitioners and local communities. Given that complex problems often require innovative solutions, it was presented as the overarching theme for Cohort 4 of the Queensland Connects program. As a partnership between Advanced Queensland and Queensland University of Technology (QUT) the program brings together subject matter experts from government, universities, private enterprise and industry, within an entrepreneurial framework to resolve real world issues. The “Team Inundation” group was curated with flooding as the hazard focus. Directly aligning with recommendations from the National Strategy for Disaster Resilience, the Royal Commission into National Disaster Arrangements (2020) and the Queensland Strategy for Disaster Resilience (2022-2027) team members decided to take a proactive approach to disaster risk reduction and preparedness premised in community-based disaster resilience education (DRE). Through extensive research and collaboration over an 18-month period, the “Resilience Builders” program was conceptualised. The intent of the program is to utilise educational Minecraft embedded within the school curriculum to initially teach flood risk awareness and household level preparedness. If successful, the scope could be extended to all natural hazards and a broader community context. The value and potential of gamification in the education of the younger generation is well recognised, with relevant agency and stakeholder support it is hoped the Resilience Builders initiative can go further and stimulate learning and generational behaviour change across the community.
