Dear All,
I am a PhD student working with Maureen Fordham at Northumbria University, on disaster education for children. I have been building a new website which addresses what children should do in an emergency such as earthquake, tsunami, hurricane etc while in a foreign country. This came about because many of my students (I teach in a UK High school) travel to Turkey, India Pakistan, Indonesia, USA etc where there is a higher risk of the aforementioned hazards occurring. The address is : http://www.geo-world.org/edu4hazards/
The idea is for children to explore the site and to discover how to protect themselves, whilst also learning about the nature of the hazard at the same time. I have purposely made the site less obvious in terms of navigation, but there are instructions on the front page. I would welcome your views!
Please also note that the site is in beta testing and is not yet launched or 'live'.
Thank you,
Justin Sharpe
