event that struck the central region of Chile onFebruary 27th, 2010—a joint research project between Japan and Chile was established toadvance the development of technologies and resources to foster tsunami resilient communities.The SATREPS (The Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable DevelopmentProject) program [2] allowed the introduction of the Disaster Imagination Game (DIG) in Chile.DIG was created as a method for disaster drill in Japan [3] and has been used in differentcontexts since then (e.g., [4], [5] ). The game’s overall goal is to promote disaster risk awarenessand resilience. Its core is a teamwork exercise around a printed map, where people discuss andrecord information about the territory under study [6]. We
