I would not use these programs. I would actually use Prezi. The simple answer to "Why" is the professional look of end product. Scratch and Etoys apps look childish (on purpose!!!) - like their names imply, the idea is to mess and play with things. I just would not take disaster preparedness info seriously if it were presented in such way.
However, if you are thinking specifically about GAMES about disasters (and humor), I would go with Scratch. Mostly because of the ease of upload and remix, and large user base.
