Course Description
This course demonstrates and teaches the use of AnyLogic simulation software to simulate various types of disasters. Users will learn how to develop agent-based simulation of hazards, hazard mitigation methods, disaster preparedness and response activities such as evacuation, search and rescue operations, disaster logistics, etc.
This is an ongoing course and more lessons are added in a weekly basis. while some lessons may be connected to each other, lessons are designed so that they can be used independently. Examples will be drawn from various hazard and geographic regions and industries.
