How do we plan for them, lessen their impact and handle the emergencies that can result? This course examines the physical science of natural hazards, the social factors that can contribute to disasters, emergency planning and disaster risk reduction (DRR). You’ll gain expertise in a range of practical and field techniques through “real-world” exercises.
