1. THE PIRAC

Established in 2005, the Regional Intervention Platform for the Americas and the Caribbean (PIRAC) is the representative delegation of the French Red Cross (CRF) for the Caribbean region, based in Guadeloupe, and serves as its operational mechanism for humanitarian action and regional cooperation. PIRAC provides assistance to Caribbean populations during all major disasters and works to develop capacity-building initiatives to strengthen the resilience of populations in French territories, as well as in the countries of the Caribbean arc and the Guiana Shield.

2. THE “FOK NOU PARÉ” PROJECT

Since 2019, PIRAC has been developing tools to raise awareness of natural hazards and best practices in order to strengthen risk awareness in the French West Indies. Since early 2026, the “Fok Nou Paré” project, funded by the Martinique Department of the Environment, Planning and Housing (DEAL), has aimed to develop risk awareness among the Martinican population so that they are better prepared to respond to major hazards and climate change, by promoting appropriate behaviors through fun and participatory educational approaches.

The board game “Risk Péyi Matinik” was designed within this framework, adapting tools developed in Guadeloupe as part of the Paré pa Paré program to the Martinican context. It addresses the territory’s main natural hazards—earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, floods, landslides, volcanic eruptions, lahars, and climate change—as well as the appropriate actions to take before, during, and after a disaster. It is intended for the general public and is particularly suitable for children aged 7 and up, and is used at awareness booths, educational activities, and public events organized by PIRAC and its partners in Martinique.

This board game includes a map of Martinique with pictograms representing natural hazards, as well as a set of question/answer cards, game pieces, and two dice. The objective of the game is to be the first to reach the “Finish” space by correctly answering as many questions as possible.
