The morning was dedicated to role-playing very concrete situations, inspired by everyday life in Paris, to better understand the impacts of flooding on residents and economic activities.
Paulette, a retired woman living in Belleville and using a wheelchair; Charlie, who lives on a houseboat; Marta, a single mother in a high-rise building in Beaugrenelle; and Sofiane, who runs a restaurant on Boulevard Haussmann — all these profiles sparked rich discussions and strong reactions among participants.
Through these immersive scenarios, participants were able to grasp how the impacts of a flood extend far beyond material damage alone, affecting living conditions, mobility, economic activity and the organisation of essential services.
In this context, SNCF Réseau stands out as a key operator, likely to be on the front line in the event of a flood comparable to that of 1910 in Paris. Managing the interdependencies between networks, uses and priorities becomes a central challenge in order to anticipate, coordinate and limit disruptions.
These exchanges highlight the value of immersive and participatory educational approaches for developing a better understanding of flood risk and encouraging concrete action.
