VSTEP Releases RescueSim Platform



The thing to note about this product is that it is not simply a one-off simulation, but is instead a fully-featured toolkit to construct a variety of unique simulation scenarios (within the limits of the building blocks that are provided).

From http://www.rescuesim.com/:
RescueSim is training software that prepares public safety and security professionals for real-life incidents in a virtual environment.

RescueSim allows emergency crews to experience the incident as they would in real-life. They assess the situation and determine the best response strategy, implement it and then observe the consequences of their decisions.

RescueSim offers important benefits:
  • Train people whenever, wherever without time-consuming planning and preparation
  • Improve operational preparedness of the emergency response organisation
  • Reduce training costs
  • Learn new skills in a safe environment
