This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $350,000 to Iowa State University (ISU) and Polk County Emergency Management (PCEM) in Iowa to develop and evaluate a novel Disaster Multiplayer Online Game (DMOG) to enhance emergency preparedness training in the Midwest. The DMOG simulates a sudden disaster scenario, requiring players representing different emergency response roles to make decisions and collaborate to effectively manage the situation. Key objectives are to: (i) increase knowledge about emergency management roles, (ii) enhance decision-making competencies, and (iii) foster collaboration among emergency decision makers. The project will create a virtual environment, utilize generative AI to produce game content, and assess if the online game improves the skills of emergency response decision makers. Subawards are planned as part of this award.
