An online game to teach children how to save lives and livelihoods

As part of its current campaign on education called “Disaster risk reduction starts at school”, the secretariat of the UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction is launching today an on-line game aimed at teaching children how to build safer villages and cities against disasters. Children will learn how the location and construction materials can make a difference when disaster strikes and how early warning systems, evacuation plans and education can save lives and livelihoods.
