Families in Niagara West can now learn how to prepare for severe weather through a new online game.
The Town of Lincoln has launched StormSmart, developed with game design students at Sheridan College.
Players face simulated emergencies, including flooding, blizzards and thunderstorms, and make decisions about how to protect their homes and families.
The game is designed for residents in Lincoln, Pelham, West Lincoln and Wainfleet, with tips on preparing an emergency kit, making a plan and staying informed.
StormSmart was made possible through a $25,000 grant. It's available free at stormsmart.ca.
