Welcome to Outbreak READY! A Digital Readiness and Response Simulation

Is this learning hub for me icon

Is this course for me?

Outbreak READY! is divided into two modules: the first focuses on readiness prioritizations and actions as an outbreak is identified in a neighbouring country; the second focuses on the NGO’s response to the outbreak as it begins to spread. Over the course of the simulation, you must make decisions that determine how the NGO adapts and expands programs to respond to the outbreak.

  1. Describe the key areas of operational readiness when preparing for an infectious disease outbreak in humanitarian settings and weigh how investments and trade-offs in operational readiness impact outbreak response outcomes.
  2. Identify key stakeholders and coordination structures that are critical to outbreak response in humanitarian settings and weigh their impact on multi-sectoral outbreak response activities.
  3. Explain the roles of various technical and cross-cutting sectors within infectious disease outbreak preparedness and response, and design activities that integrate multiple sectors in an outbreak response.
  4. Use epidemiological, assessment, and community feedback data to inform and develop organizational adaptive management strategies and response plans for inclusive and ethical outbreak responses in humanitarian emergencies.
