Those of you who work with teens may be interested in this recent story by Yale Climate Connections on a new video game that helps teach teens how to navigate various weather disasters and how to stay calm — even amid confusion and chaos. I haven’t tried it out, but you might want to take a look. According to the story:
:Jane Lee is with I-Thrive Games. Her company partnered with FEMA to create “Disaster Mind,” a simulation video game that prepares teens for extreme events, which are becoming more common with climate change.
In the game, Disaster Mind players choose to face down a blizzard, wildfire, or flood — either at home alone with their younger sister or while working at a community center with elderly people.
As the disasters get worse, players have to make quick decisions and learn how to navigate challenges like evacuation orders and power outages.”
