Manara
In October 2018, flash floods near the Dead Sea in Jordan killed 21 people — 12 of them schoolchildren on a field trip.
Core trick
Three Claude council agents debate an evacuation plan, a digital twin simulates it, and a second Claude call tries to falsify the result before release.
Description
In October 2018, flash floods near the Dead Sea in Jordan killed 21
people — 12 of them schoolchildren on a field trip.
Manara (منارة, "lighthouse") is a multi-agent disaster-response
orchestrator that closes a quiet but lethal gap: no disaster plan
ever gets tested at real scale. You can't put a thousand people in
a flooding canyon to see if your evacuation routes hold. So plans
sit on paper, until the day they fail.
Three Claude Opus 4.7 council agents (Hydrologist, Operations,
Equity) debate the plan over multiple rounds. A digital twin
simulates it against the actual disaster. A second Opus call tries
to falsify the plan it just helped write. Only plans that survive
their own test reach the field, as a bilingual (English + Arabic)
field-orders document, ready for Civil Defense.
The system reads hand-drawn Arabic field sketches via Opus 4.7
vision, remembers every past simulation as durable learnings, and
runs background scenario replays through Claude Managed Agents
between human-driven runs. Built for Jordan, designed for any
country making life-or-death decisions on instinct.
