We're currently updating this topic and the corresponding Global Gang stories. Please bookmark this page. The revised version will be ready by the start of the autumn term 2008, if not sooner.



Natural disasters – such as earthquakes and floods – cause havoc when they strike. Developing countries experience the most disasters, and they can wipe out years of development and growth and use up vital resources. These classroom activities use stories on the Global Gang website to help children think about the impact of disasters in developing countries.
