This course focusses on the application of engineering and related technical disciplines for disaster management with consideration for the increasing frequency and intensity of disasters because of climate change. You will learn about the role and responsibilities of engineers and technical professionals in these contexts including disaster risk reduction and community resilience and the national frameworks and approaches that guide their actions. You will also learn about the systems in which disasters occur considering logistics and supply as well as considering multi-disciplinary lenses for evaluating political, social, and cultural influences. You will have the chance to test your skills in a simulated disaster setting and develop suitable innovative solutions.
