We describe results from a computer simulation-based study of a large-scale, human-initiated crisis in a densely populated urban setting. We focus on the interaction between human behavior and the communication infrastructure in the aftermath of the crisis. We study the effects of sending emergency broadcasts immediately after the event, advising people to shelter in place, and show that this relatively mild intervention can have a large beneficial impact.
