Stop Disasters: A disaster simulation game from the UN/ISDR
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Stop Disasters

Is an interactive educational game on disaster reduction. Education is key for reducing children’s risks to disasters. Children are one of the most vulnerable groups when disasters occur. Teaching them from the early age about the risks posed by natural hazards, children will have a better chance to save their lives during disasters.

What is the ISDR?
ISDR stands for International Strategy for Disaster Reduction The Strategy brings many organisations, universities, institutions together for a common objective: reducing the number of dead and injured by disasters triggered by natural hazards.

Why do we differentiate disasters from natural hazards?
Natural hazards, such as floods, earthquakes and volcanoes, do not need to become disasters. For example, if volcanoes erupt in a location where nobody lives, the volcano eruption is just a natural hazard, but not a disaster. But if people living around the volcanoes are affected and even killed by the volcano eruption, in this case, the volcano eruption becomes a disaster.
