Outbreak READY 2!: Thisland in Crisis is an online digital simulation designed to strengthen the capacity of humanitarian health practitioners to respond to infectious disease outbreaks in humanitarian settings. Players take the role of a Health Program Manager leading an NGO health response during an evolving infectious disease outbreak. Throughout the simulation, players must identify, assess, and interpret sources of data to plan and implement an integrated outbreak response that prioritizes risk communication and community engagement, protection principles, and staff safety and wellbeing. Through a unique, digital interpretation of an outbreak simulation, Outbreak READY 2!: Thisland in Crisis brings the complex nature of a humanitarian outbreak response to life.
Outbreak READY 2!: Thisland in Crisis and its accompanying solo-play and group facilitation tools are now available to access via the READY website. This launch event included a live demo of Outbreak READY 2! and featured information about the simulation and its corresponding facilitation tools, including how individuals and organizations can utilize this unique training opportunity.
We would like to thank the many individuals who contributed to the development of Outbreak READY 2!: Thisland in Crisis. We invite you to play the simulation and to share it within your networks.
This event ws hosted by the READY initiative, led by Save the Children, and funded by the USAID Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance.
