On Asterix and Obelix people prepare for the worst Second Life,and real life can offer. The islands are the home of Play2Train, a disaster simulator complete with hospitals, helicopters fire trucks and restaurants which can blow up at a moments notice. Play2Train is the Second Life component of the Idaho Bioterrorism Awareness and Preparedness Program, IBAPP for short. And, that program is headed up by Ramesh Ramloll (Moriz Gupte in Second Life). Ramesh is a research assitant professor in Institute of Rural Health at Idaho State University in Pocatello, Idaho. Learn more at http://irhbt.typepad.com/play2train/ [7].
