Disaster Detector is an online interactive game from the Smithsonian that looks like it would be an excellent game for students to play who are learning about natural disasters, and it seems surprisingly accessible to English Language Learners.

Players had to plan what they think would be the most effective defenses for a community facing various natural disasters and then see how effective they are when the hurricane, earthquake, etc. hits.

I’m adding it to The Best Websites For Learning About Natural Disasters.

That list includes other “games” for students to learn about disasters:

One is Disaster Watch, and a more complicated one is Stop Disasters.
