Societies’ capacities to effectively manage risk, such as the threats arising from natural disasters, have not kept up with the world’s ecological changes. Previously very rare events, such as large floods or long-lasting droughts, are becoming more frequent, and the rapid dissemination of information on the internet is contributing to the spread of misinformation about hazards, risks, and how to manage them. To better deal with these risks, this project builds new risk management strategies that are based on biological Rules of Life. These rules are used by living systems to preserve and protect the life in those systems, including those based on altruism, community growth, communication, and enforcement of community rules. Biological systems that exploit these rules include bacterial colonies, hives of social insects, schools of fish, and herding animals.This project combines gamification of the Rules of Life with narrative storytelling to develop new strategies for collectively managing risk of natural disasters, infrastructure challenges, pandemics, and other shocks. The researchers use a practice-based co-design process that conducts science with involvement of individuals in at-risk communities. Story- and play-based activities that require solving cooperation and coordination dilemmas create a variety of experiences and products that uncover new solutions to societal challenges, encourage cooperation and collective risk management, determine new ways to encourage people to engage collective risk management strategies, and develop new outreach activities, such as museum exhibits and workshops. The project will benefit vulnerable low-income communities struggling to deal with disasters and water managers in the desert southwest trying to increase the resilience of the water supply.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

社会有效管理风险（例如自然灾害带来的威胁）的能力未能跟上世界生态的变化。 以前非常罕见的事件，例如大洪水或长期干旱，现在变得越来越频繁，互联网上信息的快速传播正在助长有关危害、风险及其管理方法的错误信息的传播。 为了更好地应对这些风险，该项目建立了基于生物生命规则的新风险管理策略。 这些规则被生命系统用来维持和保护这些系统中的生命，包括那些基于利他主义、社区发展、沟通和社区规则执行的规则。 利用这些规则的生物系统包括细菌菌落、群居昆虫的蜂巢、鱼群和牧群动物。该项目将生命规则的游戏化与叙事故事相结合，以制定新的策略来共同管理自然灾害、基础设施挑战、流行病和其他冲击的风险。研究人员采用基于实践的协同设计流程，在高危社区的个人参与下开展科学研究。 需要解决合作和协调困境的基于故事和游戏的活动创造了各种体验和产品，这些体验和产品揭示了社会挑战的新解决方案，鼓励合作和集体风险管理，确定鼓励人们参与集体风险管理策略的新方法，并开发新的外展活动，例如博物馆展览和研讨会。 该项目将使那些努力应对灾害的脆弱低收入社区和西南部沙漠中试图提高供水弹性的水管理人员受益。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
