Pandemic Exercise Simulator

The Pandemic Exercise Simulator is a county-level outbreak simulation tool for planning exercises, intervention comparisons, and epidemiological methods development. It combines compartmental disease models, age-structured contact matrices, county mobility, vaccination stockpiles, antiviral stockpiles, and non-pharmaceutical interventions.

This documentation is written for two audiences:

• Public health professionals who need to run scenarios, read inputs, and interpret outputs.

• Epidemiologist developers who need the model equations, stochastic assumptions, calibration details, and extension points.
