WEB-BASED EMERGENCY RESPONSE EXERCISE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS THEREOF
First Claim
1. A method for simulating portions of an emergency response exercise, the method comprising:
- generating situational awareness outputs associated with a simulated emergency;
sending the situational awareness outputs to a plurality of output devices;
outputting a plurality of decisions at a decision point to a user device, the decisions being associated with the situational awareness outputs;
receiving a selection of one of the decisions from the user device;
generating new situational awareness outputs based on the selected decision; and
repeating the sending, outputting and receiving steps based on the new situational awareness outputs.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, a method for simulating portions of an emergency response exercise includes generating situational awareness outputs associated with a simulated emergency and sending the situational awareness outputs to a plurality of output devices. Also, the method includes outputting to a user device a plurality of decisions associated with the situational awareness outputs at a decision point, receiving a selection of one of the decisions from the user device, generating new situational awareness outputs based on the selected decision, and repeating the sending, outputting and receiving steps based on the new situational awareness outputs. Other methods, systems, and computer program products are included according to other embodiments of the invention.
