Preparing for Disaster Using Scenarios

Thursday, 1:30-3:00 p.m., Interlocken A


To better prepare for natural and human-induced catastrophic events, many governments, organizations, and associations have used scenario-based exercises to test response capabilities. Some exercises are very modest, others are highly sophisticated. Yet few have been evaluated for their impacts. This session will identify strengths and weaknesses of the scenario approach, exploring its implications for planning and preparedness.
