Simulation Application
Engagement of communities and civil societies in epidemic and pandemic preparedness is vital to ensure early response and to mitigate impact, including the delivery of normative services. CADRIM has moved to convert the paper-based Simulation Guide into an electronic format which promotes accessibility and simulates real time scenarios by promoting engagement, interaction, and simulating hands-on field experience needed for disaster response actors. This simulation puts the user through a series of scenarios that allows them to make decisions based on the situational context of the scenario at that time, making the application a useful training tool for potential disaster responders.
The simulation application covers two platforms, Microsoft Windows and Android. The entire simulation consists of three units, each training and testing users at various levels. To get started using the application download and install each unit either all together or individually as needed. For additional support installing the downloaded files, see the installation guide below.
