Abstract:A crisis is an emergency event that can lead to multiple injuries and damage to property or environment.
Proper training of crisis management personnel is vital for reducing the impact of a major incident. In
search for knowledge on how best to implement communication for virtual environments for training,
communication in online games was studied. Findings on voice communication in online games were
researched and formulated as a set of statements. By asking participants in an empirical study of
crisis management, the statements were either confirmed or refuted. Results show that multiplayer
games are highly similar to the requirements for crisis management training in virtual environments.
Approximately two-thirds of the statements proved coherent in both domains. The practical
significance of this work lies in the provision of design implications for a virtual environment for
crisis management training. Thus, this paper contributes to demonstrating the transferability between
these domains. Finally, the paper reflects the results in theories of communication and engagement.
