About
This research report describes a computer simulation tool designed to help rural communities get ready for disasters. The tool lets public health workers and emergency planners practice different disaster situations, like disease outbreaks or natural disasters. By using the simulation, they can see what might happen and make better plans to keep people safe. It is especially helpful for small towns that may not have many resources or experience with big emergencies. The goal is to improve disaster response and protect the health of everyone in rural areas.
