Emergency excitement online

Video game Zero Hour: America’s Medic lets responders try out real-time strategies in hazardous virtual environments, with sound effects and human conversations, just like those in the hugely-popular Halo game series (don't know Halo? Ask a male teenager). The game was created by those zany fun-lovers at the US Dept of Homeland Security and George Washington University’s National Emergency Medical Services Preparedness Initiative (NEMSPI). It can take a good long while to load; clear some bandwidth and grab a cup of coffee.

Can’t wait? This is a minute-and-a-half YouTube video of the screen action.
