Serious Games for Crisis Preparedness

Offering free, digital games to test decision-making skills during an emerging crisis. Participate today in our curated selection of serious games and preparedness discussions to increase your rapid response and decision-making skills.

The Disaster Response Game

The Disaster Response Game puts scientists in the driver seat to practice how to think and respond quickly to emerging crises like wildfires, hurricanes, and food security.

You’ll learn rapid decision-making skills and grow your network, so that you can respond faster and more efficiently to future disasters. After you finish, you can discuss your experience with our network of thousands of scientists on the International Science Reserve’s Digital Hub.
