About this event
Understand disaster management methods, risk reduction strategies, and emergency coordination – all online.
Overview:
Disasters are inconveniently democratic – they rarely RSVP and affect everyone equally. This course explores the structured frameworks and decision-making processes involved in managing emergencies, from natural hazards to man-made disruptions. It focuses on how risks are identified, how resources are mobilised, and how recovery plans are set in motion—all without stepping outdoors.
Whether you're interested in shaping policy, contributing to emergency planning, or simply learning why everything goes sideways at once, this course covers core theories and methods in disaster management. From communication flowcharts to risk mapping, you'll examine the essential architecture of effective response systems, minus the need for hi-vis jackets or waterproof clipboards.
