Humanitarian logistics has recently gained increasing attention from both academics and practitioners. Although various research groups have addressed theoretical and technical developments in humanitarian logistics, only a limited number of those can actually be generalized, extended, accessed, and understood by non-technical practitioners. To tackle these challenges, we develop a simulation model for humanitarian logistics preparedness and a simulation-based serious game to raise awareness and provide accessibility on humanitarian logistics research to a wider audience. The simulation model aims to optimize the network configuration for prepositioning stocks of life-saving goods in Indonesia, while the game aims to provide a risk-free environment where players can craft various strategies to plan and deploy effective humanitarian operations.
