METASIM
 |
MetaSIM is envisioned as a web-based collection of simulation tools developed to test the efficacy of new and emerging information technologies within the context of natural and manmade disasters. Outside of the research community, METASIM will prove useful to emergency managers and firstresponders by providing centralized and wireless dissemination of damage estimates and information. Before an event, disaster simulations of probable events will aid in the prioritization of mitigation activities and increase preparedness through training scenarios. Immediately after an event, METASIM will aid in situational awareness and resource deployment. During the recovery phase, METASIM will help assess long-term shelter and public assistance requirements. |
