FEMA and DHS Fund Disaster Hero Game

Posted by Soulskill on from the fifty-bonus-points-for-each-liquor-store-you-loot dept.

eldavojohn writes "The United States government has decided that children need a video game to learn about what to do before, during, and after an emergency or hazardous event. Collect an emergency kit! Create an emergency plan! Be informed of what to do! Suffer from heat exhaustion inside the Superdome! ... Wait, what? Oh, I guess FEMA omitted that last one. Disaster Hero is coming in 2011 — plenty of time before 2012."

    When disaster strikes, solve problems on your own and belittle those around you!

    Actually, educational games are great. Number munchers changed my life: multiply or die.

    Obama needs to know what to do during and after an emergency. It's obvious that at present he hasn't a fucking clue.

    And sorry, threatening to kick BP's ass doesn't count.

    Large generators of the type used by hospitals run on diesel.
