To gain a knowledge and understanding regarding advanced disaster risk assessment methods

Students will be capable to apply a contemporary mathematical and statistical disaster risk assessment tools regarding various natural and human induced hazards

This course will implement the advanced risk assessment methods. Students will focus on the advanced assessment of the basic risk parameters such as hazard, vulnerability, exposure and resilience. Special attention will be on the probabilistic risk assessment methods. After the course completion students will be able to apply knowledge gained.

Lectures are combined. The presentation of the theoretical part is accompanied by appropriate examples that contribute to the clarification of the theoretical part. Regular consultations are held. Through a study and research work student, studying scientific journals and other literature independently deepens the material from the lectures.Working with a teacher, the student is trained for independent writing of scientific paper.
