This study examines whether rational decision-making can effectively govern disaster responses.

### Experimental Design

Researchers created an interactive game simulating disaster scenarios where participants represent different governmental actors.

### Key Findings

The results suggest that while individuals might struggle with collective rationality during crises, structured systems could improve outcomes.

### Implications for Policy

These findings highlight potential ways to design decision-making frameworks—addressing information gaps and resource allocation challenges in emergencies.

The experiment demonstrates how political structures shape responses to natural disasters.
