Treme-treme — an educational game that engages children aged 7 to 9 years-old with seismic risk — has been recognized as one of twenty best practices by the 7th edition of ObservIST (which aims to identify and disseminate best practices at Instituto Superior Técnico).

Developed by the Department of Civil Engineering and the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of Instituto Superior Técnico (including by INESC-ID researchers Rui Prada and Pedro Santos), Dreamstudios and Flaidisaine© (under the European project UPStrat-MAFA – “Urban disaster Prevention Strategies using MAcroseismic Fields and FAult Sources), Treme-treme teaches children how to behave during an earthquake, including building an emergency kit and learning to recognize the spots at home, school and work that are particularly dangerous during such an event.

Congratulations to the Treme-treme team!
