The Role of Simulation and Modeling in Disaster Management.
Summary

The threat of pandemic disaster has motivated many collaborative exercises for the purpose of preparation and evaluation. The nature of these exercises depends upon the status of pre-existing expectations for system behavior and the aims of the exercise stakeholders. The contents of this article argue that these exercises may be developed using the same approach as simulation modeling to advantage.

Developing Disaster Preparedness Competence: An Experiential Learning Exercise for Multiprofessional Education.
Summary

The hurricane disasters of 2005 and the threat of pandemic infectious diseases compel medical educators to develop emergency preparedness training for medical students and other health care professional students.The objectives of the exercise:1. The students will gain information about the major concepts of disease reporting, the Incident Command System, and risk communication in an All Hazards approach.2. The participants will practice acting in the role of one stakeholder in a scenario involving a disease epidemic (to gain insight into issues that responders from other professional groups must manage).3. Through interaction with others, the participants will understand the roles of various stakeholders in a disease epidemic.4. The participants will increase in attitudes of willingness to cooperate with other stakeholders to accomplish common goals in a time of hazard.
