What you can investigate
Explore Adaptation, flooding, heat, storms, budget by changing the available controls and comparing the model’s visual and numerical evidence. Try one variable at a time, then combine changes to test a stronger explanation.
Allocate a limited adaptation budget to reduce flood, heat, and storm risks across a city.
This is a simplified educational model. Values update from the equations described in Model assumptions & science.
This browser-based resilience strategy game helps you allocate a limited adaptation budget to reduce flood, heat, and storm risks across a city. Designed for Grades 6–12, it turns an abstract idea into a model you can control, measure, reset, and test without signing up.
Explore Adaptation, flooding, heat, storms, budget by changing the available controls and comparing the model’s visual and numerical evidence. Try one variable at a time, then combine changes to test a stronger explanation.
A typical investigation takes 10–18 min. Use it as a lesson demonstration, a guided inquiry activity, a homework experiment, or a quick review. The simulation runs in a modern web browser and does not require an account.
Allocate a limited adaptation budget to reduce flood, heat, and storm risks across a city. The main ideas are Adaptation, flooding, heat, storms, budget.
Yes. You can run the simulation online for free without creating an account.
Most learners can complete one investigation in 10–18 min. You can repeat it to compare more variables or improve your explanation.
