Abstract

Human beings have been affected by disasters from the beginning of life, bringing them many sad memories. In the long struggle against disaster, people have devised a variety of methods to train relevant participants in disaster relief capabilities. However, many traditional training methods, such as disaster exercises may not provide effective training to meet the need of today. Nowadays, serious games provide an innovative approach to train participants in disaster relief, and a large number of Serious Games for Disaster Relief (SGDRs) have been developed to train disaster planning and rescue capabilities. According to the different disaster relief work in each stage of the disaster, this paper reviews the serious games of each disaster stage, which can provide reliable guidance for researchers to better understand and use SGDRs. In addition, we have analyzed serious games in each category, pointed out their limitations, and provided develoners with some valuable advice on game design.
