Today I went to UBC for a two-hour "crisis study" in the department of psychology, where I played the leader of a group of workers at an emergency operations centre during a severe weather event. Four of us had to decide and communicate what to do in response to various crises for an hour, from flooding and evacuations to a roof collapse. Not sure how we would have fared in real life, but I'm glad I am not an emergency response person. Got paid $20 for my time.
