Crisis Management Scenario Game

[Dana Sheets]

More for municipalities than ordinary citizens - but a nice step forward to bring gaming into disaster preparation.

Incident Commander is a PC-based software simulation that models real-world situations within a community, allowing for training at the management level to a critical incident.

The simulation offers a realistic representation of crisis management with realistic scenarios, realistic time delays and realistic resource limitations all set in the arena of the players' local region.

Focusing on smaller (less than 500,000 residents) jurisdictions, players can experience a school hostage situation; a natural disaster and a possible terrorism incident, while you fill the shoes of the "incident commander" and his or her Operations team.

Multiple simultaneous roles for player interaction will be available allowing independent action in any role or as a part of a group of players over the Internet or on a local network. Solo play is also possible.
