COVID, conflicts, migration, climate change). Yet, the context of a crisis also fundamentally alters the process of developing simulations and their use: classic scientific methodologies, suited for slow-paced and meticulous paper production, are challenged by the urgency of crises involving stakeholder needs and understanding of the situation that can dramatically shift over time. At the personal level, modelers can abruptly become exposed to the public, involved in high-impact decisions, and required to bear heavy workloads, while risking to face retaliations should the model or its perception by the general public fail to match with reality and/or expectations. The development process is also put at stress and is open to unexpected risks, such as logistics and infrastructures that may be compromised and modelers suddenly becoming unreachable.</span><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-language:SV'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:normal'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:SV'>Currently, we have little to no knowledge on how to best produce simulations under crisis conditions, outside a few reported attempts.
