In this lesson, we will rely on our new knowledge of geospatial perspectives and technology as it is used in the four stages of emergency management to develop scenarios that can be used to inform the design of new geospatial systems for emergency management. Scenarios are a key creative mechanism for evaluating system designs against the likely impacts and outcomes from a hypothetical disaster situation. You will learn about scenarios and then develop your own.

By the successful completion of this lesson, you should be able to:
- describe the key components of scenario design
