About This Scenario
The main weather radar system has catastrophically failed as Category 4 Hurricane Elena approaches the coastline. You're the emergency communications director with 90 minutes to coordinate a solution, but your repair team is stranded managing another city's crisis. Over 2 million residents' safety hangs in the balance.
How It Starts
“This is completely unacceptable. I've got 2 million people in Elena's path, three coastal evacuation routes already gridlocked, and you're telling me your primary radar array is DEAD? What's your immediate contingency? And make it fast - I've got the Governor on my other line.”
This is how Director Marcus Chen, FEMA Regional Administrator's greeting will start.
