ReliefSim is a prototype of a simulation of a humanitarian emergency scenario. Students play the role of the health relief director and have a team of people they assign to assess the situation and attempt to manage the health concerns of the crisis. This simulation prototype was designed to train humanitarian workers to manage complex emergencies. With the wealth of field data available, students can explore real-life scenarios to develop their skills and explore the complexity of the issues in a safe space.
