Disaster Dynamics

The Disaster Dynamics project is dedicated to preparing policy makers, academics, students, etc. to make informed and analytical decisions during a disaster. In order to achieve this goal, the project is seeking to create effective learning environments for the unique challenges surrounding natural disasters. At this time, the chief focus is on creating games and simulations. One such game is called Flow. This is board game that “demonstrates the dynamics of movement during an extreme event. Players control the movement of citizens and emergency vehicles in game boards patterned after real cities.”

Interestingly, the Disaster Dynamics page is presented in a wiki format. However, you must have a pass word to edit the pages.
