What Parents Need to Know
About StopDisastersGame.org
Parents need to know that through simulation games kids will watch a disaster happen to a community from a top-down perspective. After preparing for the ensuing disaster, kids watch a wild fire encompass homes and burn them to the ground, or a hurricane blow off the top of buildings. The images in the games are graphic representations of areas -- not real-life photos or videos -- but because of the nature of the topic, the simulation might be too scary for some kids. But no one is shown as being injured; the death toll is simply assigned in the aftermath. There are also videos and real stories of kids who survived disasters in the Information section.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether they live in an area likely to experience a natural disaster and what steps they can take to minimize its effect. Many times, people affected don't have access to the Internet. How else might they get information they need to protect themselves? Warning systems? Radio broadcasts?
