The Tropical Cyclone Coastal Impacts Program (TCCIP) in the early 1990′s showed that there was a need for an age appropriate tropical cyclone awareness educational package to assist children in their understanding of the risks associated with tropical cyclones. In response to the research from the TCCIP the Centre for Disaster Studies in conjunction with the Bureau of Meteorology developed ‘Stormwatchers’ an interactive cyclone awareness game for children. The game was first developed as an interactive CD ROM package that was distributed throughout Queensland schools and was later modified for Western Australia. Throughout the late 90′s the game was seen as an important educational tool for cyclone awareness and preparedness across Queensland.
