Typhoon 'Goni' is the strongest storm of the year in the Philippines. The electricity is out and roads are impassable due to the flash floods. There are many dead and injured.

Instructions

Are your emergency response teams making the right choices? Play the 'Humanity Game' and find out. As a game master you guide the students through this game. The manual describes the course of the game and gives further instruction. You deal with 4 disasters; 4 rounds in which students are watching impressive videos and then taking the knowledge test to earn money for new relief supplies. They will discover a lot about the Red Cross and the relief support in major disasters. Good luck!

• With a disaster it is of no importance who you are, where you live, or what your background is. Therefore we help everyone who is in need.
