Disaster Management Game
Design magazine Core77 pushes out a store on After Shock promoted as "the world's first massively collaborative disaster simulation, about a major earthquake affecting much of Southern California"
"It turns out - as one could have expected - that there is quite a lot behind this unique serious game. It is actually part of a larger design initiative The Los Angeles Earthquake: Get Ready, led by Designmatters at Art Center College of Design, that has allowed them "to investigate the contributing role of design in disaster mitigation and public awareness"."
