Stop Disasters could be a great game for geography and Earth science practitioners to use in their teaching.

Stop Disasters is a game designed for learners to learn about...

  • natural disasters,
  • disaster prevention, and
  • city design.

There are five game scenarios that learners can play. They can plan to prepare for...

  • hurricanes,
  • floods,
  • earthquakes,
  • wildfires, and
  • tsunamis.
Note: The scenarios are set in geographically accurate contexts of Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Caribbean.

For practitioners, Stop Disasters provides...

  • fact sheets to distribute to learners about each type of natural disaster.
  • teaching guides,
  • lesson plan ideas, and
  • links to additional reference materials.

Note: We are informed that "In order to be successful in this game students have to have knowledge of geography concepts and Earth science concepts"; now there is a challenge!
