Disaster Management - "Incident Commander"

Breakaway Ltd, the National Institute of Justice (the R&D arm of the DOJ) and NIJ's National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center are partnering to create a computer game that models acts of terrorism, school hostage situations, and natural disasters, currently under construction.

The game is intended to help incident commanders and other public safety personnel train and plan for how they might respond to a wide range of critical incidents.

Incident Commander will be distributed free of charge by NIJ to more than 30,000 city, county and state public safety agencies nationwide.
