The biological immune system is an orchestrated, complex network that runs specialized defense reactions to inhibit infections of the whole organism. The immune system memorizes past infections and automatically builds up resilience. The paper analyses these and additional functions of biological immune systems and transfers them to personal communication processes in disaster situations. Based on this analogy, a cellular automaton was programmed to run different scenarios. The prototypical program simulates basic cascading disasters and provides findings regarding their development for different agent constellations. With the observations first practical implications are deduced for how to build up resilience in systems and to set up future research
