Modeling For Disaster Preparedness and Response Training

ABOUT

All countries in the world face risks emanating from natural or anthropogenic sources. Some countries have improved their response rates and thereby survival by being more organized, investing and developing sound response systems and human resources, investing in research and investing in technological innovations as a way of adapting to their environment. Despite these gains, hazards are increasingly becoming common that they threated development investments.

Developing countries suffer the greatest incidents of natural hazards which result in devastating loss of lives, investments, and livelihoods. Countries that score poorly in development indices are also the countries that invest paltry resources and budget.

This course uses the old English proverb –forewarned is forearmed – and encourages organizations to leverage technology in effective disaster preparedness and response.

Effective disaster and emergency managers predict and allocate resources based on evidence gathered by modern technology and when disasters strike, their departments are prepared to save lives, assets and livelihoods and recover because they have their response teams better prepared and equipped.
