Magnitude 8.0 Scenario

Mana Tangata: Power of Leadership Through the People

SAFER Framework · CIMS 3rd Edition

A rehearsal space for decision-making under pressure. Eight roles live through the same magnitude 8 rupture of the Alpine Fault from very different seats — a national Controller, a school principal, a lone adult with a van full of children — each tracking the things that role actually has to hold.

There are no wrong answers, nobody is watching, and nothing is recorded — it all stays in your browser. Work a scenario through to the end and you get a debrief on the calls you made and what the doctrine suggests.

Choose a role. Each puts you somewhere different in the same rupture.
