The dataset contains data used in the research to explore the effectiveness of the interactive learning process (ILP) in improving citizens' understanding of the cascading effects of CI service failure. Through ILP workshops, insights are gained into how much understanding is improved by ILP and its impact on overall learning outcomes. The study concluded by discussing the implications of upscaling ILP for larger groups of participants and the versatility of ILP for engaging diverse groups in disaster risk understanding and strategy brainstorming.
