Disasterville: A Training, Skills Refresher and Educational Tool
Disasterville is designed as a table-top activity simulating a neighborhood set up with small buildings and figurines, including infrastructure damages, structure damages, and victim conditions. The exercise will train you on the life-saving steps to take until the professionals can get there.
Disasterville is an interactive hands-on activity that helps as a great knowledge refresher/training tool, and is useful for preparedness education.
Disasterville is useful for Community Organizations Active in Disasters (COAD), as well as local officials, Emergency Managers, professional responders, and the general public.
