65_Wargaming for Disasters?! How a Game is Revolutionizing Emergency Preparedness

🔔 Class is in session! 🔔

What if gaming could save lives? 🎲
🚨 In this episode of DisasterClass, Wesley Long and Jason "Pappy" Martin sit down with Arthur Simental, a career emergency manager, to explore how wargaming is transforming the way we train for disasters. 

🕹️ Arthur’s background in wildland firefighting, FEMA, and the CDC led him to create a disaster wargame—a training tool that simulates real-world emergency scenarios. Inspired by classic strategy games like Risk and Axis & Allies, this innovative game challenges emergency managers, responders, and even families to make critical decisions under pressure.

🔎 In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ The history of wargaming and how it shaped military strategy
✅ How disaster wargaming can help emergency managers & first responders
✅ How families can use this game to prepare for unexpected crises
✅ Where to get Arthur’s disaster wargame and try it for yourself
