How would you respond to a crisis if your business supplied items desperately needed after a disaster? If you worked for a non-profit, could you ensure disaster survivors received everything they needed? What if you were a government employee charged with managing logistics for emergencies? The American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN) Disaster Simulation uses virtual and live action role playing to simulate post-disaster supply chains for key commodities. Bring your smart-phone or tablet to play the role of a business, government, or non-profit organizations working in a crisis scenario.
