Wargame Your Disaster Plans: How & Why

Photo: Michael Dye

Wargame is not just the name of an electronic game, it’s also a term used by the military to practice their maneuvers and disaster plans should the worst occur. We have discussed the need to practice our own disaster plans. But few of us actually do. When was the last time that you even had a fire drill at home? In my home state alone, 4 people died in a house fire today. It wasn’t ever going to happen to them either. No one thinks disaster is going to single them out. That is only one example of a plan that needs to be followed up on… was the smoke alarm working? Did the children know what they should do? Answers that family may never get. What if the disaster isn’t just your home?

You have talked to your group or family, you have a plan. Everyone knows what to do. Or do they? Talking about doing something and doing it are two very different things. Equipment doesn’t always work as it should. People don’t always recall direction when under pressure especially children.  Can they make it to the meet location on foot perhaps alone in the dark? What frequency are they suppose to use on their radios if the predetermined one is being used by opposition or otherwise unavailable?  Are their boots ready to jump into when the quake hits or do they need to dig through the closet to find them?
