#DearLazyWeb: As part of #DisasterPreparedness organizing in the past, our group did a table top exercise to identify gaps in our response capabilities. We were fortunate enough to have someone who worked in public health make one and GM it for us.
I found some from FEMA with some quick searching. Assuming a group of 5-10 people organizing for themselves (and maybe folks in their neighborhoods), are there any exercises/table top simulations like these that other folks would recommend?

I'd be especially interested in anything that considers intentional systemic collapse scenarios, like, "Some jackass shuts down the government and refuses to pay SNAP" and other things like "FEMA doesn't come to help because it's been disbanded by ghouls."

In the five years since Texas created a $1.4 billion fund to guard against destructive flooding, at least 90 local governments turned down tens of millions of dollars in grants and loans.
That money went unused for years.

"Academic researchers or clinicians were not among the speakers at the sessions." I would love to know what nasty psychedelic drugs make politicians so unimaginative that they indulge in a death cult and make you wish they had a brain implant.

Could you help me find #ttrpg #games focused on disaster relief, first responders, firefighters and similar?
I'm interested in both narrative and crunchy, I want to analyze #stories and #narrative placement of the player agency, goals etc.
Bonus points for narrative analysis of such games, board games, similar video games etc. I think Pandemic Legacy would qualify.
