However, it is not oftenthe case in higher education in the United States to see a constant learning cycle presented to thestudents.

!" board game was designed to simulate the decision- making process in disaster management. We chose mitigation of hurricane damage as a specific case. In this interactive activity, students were divided into teams, each with a set of 20 "Mitigation Action Cards" categorized into Standard and Dependent types. Each card represented a strategic action with specific costs, implementation times, and potential to protect residents from an impending hurricane threat. The teams were challenged to formulate a plan that maximized safety while adhering to budgetary constraints and time limitations. The goal of the game was to create an effective mitigation plan that (1) kept the most possible people safe, (2) used the
