The ISDR (International Strategy for Disaster Reduction) developed a web game called "Stop Disaster". It aims at teaching children how to build safer villages and cities against natural disasters. Children will learn playing how the location and the construction materials of houses can make a difference when disasters strike and how early warning systems, evacuation plans and education can save lives.

The game itself is like a mini Sim City, consists of different scenarios that you can start with. You have to help prevent natural disaster like tsunami, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes by securing the villages. The game is not in a very fast pace and each game can be finished within 20 minutes.
