The course focuses on the following questions through combination of theoretical lectures and practical projects: hazards (geological, meteorological, biological and technical), vulnerability and risk assessment, risk reduction from catastrophes, emergency planning, financial planning for catastrophes, business strategies in emergency situations and crisis management. The course will help students develop skills for risk management, analysis of complex problems, assessment of possible solutions and implementations planning of risk management.
Students will be able to completely understand natural and technical hazards, vulnerability and catastrophic risks; they will develop ability to analyze risks, threats and possibilities, and also to create and implement solutions. Students will master techniques for risk reduction against catastrophes and for their management, including abilities to manage emergency situations and ensure business continuity in those situations. Students will develop mapping skills through practical work using geo-information systems.
The course will cover the following units through combination of theoretical lectures and practical projects: Hazards, vulnerability, risk and catastrophe: assessment of hazards (natural and anthropogenic), vulnerability and risk, the characteristics of disasters, their assessment and management.
