This Emergency Simulations Project was conceived as part of the ECB Project to help build NGO staff capacity to prepare for, plan and manage a response to emergency situations. The intent was to provide NGOs active in emergency response with simulation tools that could be easily adapted to the many different hazards and emergency response situations they confront around the world.
This document is intended to guide NGO managers, facilitators and trainers through the preparation and implementation of the simulations prepared under the auspices of the Emergency Capacity Building (ECB) Project. During the project, two emergency preparedness and response simulations were designed, developed, and piloted. This Guide incorporates the lessons learned from those two pilots.
