This document discusses the use of computational simulation in crisis and disaster management. It highlights the advantages of simulation models in examining alternative strategies and predicting the effects of changes in real-world systems. The document also acknowledges the challenges in incorporating realistic human behavior, increasing acceptability of simulation models, and creating multi-scale models. The special issue focuses on current real-world problems and includes papers on topics such as epidemics, seismic crises, population sheltering management, and mass evacuation. Two companion papers on airport evacuation and the Syrian refugee crisis are also mentioned. [Extracted from the article]
