The use of concept mapping has long been recognized as aneffective tool for bridging knowledge gaps and promoting a deeper understanding of topics innumerous other fields. It benefits from being a highly active approach to engaging individuals incontemplating and discussing opportunities and challenges. In contrast, many career guidanceactivities are either based on large group sessions listening to speakers or else one on onesessions with career counselors using structured approaches and thus may often be quite passivein format.

In this interactive activity, students were divided into teams, each with a set of 20 "Mitigation Action Cards" categorized into Standard and Dependent types. Each card represented a strategic action with specific costs, implementation times, and potential to protect residents from an impending hurricane threat. The teams were challenged to formulate a plan that maximized safety while adhering to budgetary constraints and time limitations. The goal of the game was to create an effective mitigation plan that (1) kept the most possible people safe, (2) used the
