Edu4hazards.org is a site that helps children understand what to do to protect themselves when faced with hazards such as flooding, earthquakes, tornadoes, lightning strike and more. The really important stuff about what to do is clearly set out with easy to understand instructions, while further information is included in a sub-menu for those who want to fund out more!
