Learn of the risks posed by natural hazards and manage your resources. Build schools, hospitals, housing and defences to protect the local population. Play multiple realistic disaster scenarios including tsunami, wildfire and earthquakes. As a contribution to the building of training to support the communication of tsunami risk to the public, the IOC of UNESCO has developed the TsunamiTeacher Information and Resource Toolkit. The Toolkit brings together a wealth of new and existing information on tsunamis into a single, reliable, and verified global resource that is widely accessible to people, groups and governments around the world. There is a wealth of information online where you can learn more about natural hazards and how to prevent them from turning into disasters. We have produced a series of five fact sheets that you can do*nload, containing key facts and lots of links to further information. Many experts and organisations participated in the contents and the making of this game. UNISDR secretariat would like to thank Charles Kelly, Disaster Management Expert for the flood and hurricane scenario. University (UNU) Freiburg GERMANY for the wildfire scenario Scott Kiser, and Dennis Feltgen, National Weather Service, Tropical Cyclone Program Leader for the hurricane scenario Melanie Ashby, from the Emergency Management Australia for the wildfire scenario and the pilot testing Terry Jeggle and many other UNISDR colleagues for their constant help, support and useful remarks Many organizations, which supported the initiative from the beginning such as: M.
