Mini-Challenge 1: Crowdsourcing for Situational Awareness

St. Himark is a vibrant community located in the Oceanus Sea. Home to the world-renowned St. Himark Museum, beautiful beaches, and the Wilson Forest Nature Preserve, St. Himark is one of the region’s best cities for raising a family and provides employment across a number of industries including the Always Safe Nuclear Power Plant which provide 72% of the electricity.

Sadly, St. Himark is not immune to natural disasters. Faced with multiple earthquakes throughout the course of this year, this bustling city needs to be ready to face the challenge of providing immediate assistance. As it is a relatively big town with 246,839 people, various parts of the city will be affected differently due to the earthquakes. Currently, mayor Jordan, city officials, and the emergency services are overwhelmed in facing this challenge and are urgently looking for assistance in understanding the true situation. Furthermore, they would like to devise the most optimal strategy which best deploys their limited resources.
