Summary Statement The disaster management cycle is an accepted model that encompasses preparation for and recovery from large-scale disasters. Over the past decade, India's Pediatric Simulation Training and Research Society has developed a national-scale simulation delivery platform, termed the Simulathon , with a period prevalence methodology that integrates with core aspects of this model. As an exemplar of the effectiveness of this approach, we describe the development, implementation, and outcomes of the 2020 Simulathon, conducted from April 20 to May 20 in response to the nascent COVID-19 pandemic disaster. We conclude by discussing how aspects of the COVID-19 Simulathon enabled us to address key aspects of the disaster management cycle, as well as challenges that we encountered. We present a roadmap by which other simulation programs in low- and middle-income countries could enact a similar process.
