Modeling the Interaction between Emergency Communications and Behavior in the Aftermath of a Disaster

چکیده
We describe results from a computer simulation-based study of a large-scale, human-initiated crisis in a densely populated urban setting.

We study the effects of sending emergency broadcasts immediately after the event, advising people to shelter in place, and show that this relatively mild intervention can have a large beneficial impact.
