Emergency Preparedness and Response

General Teaching Strategy for the Module

At this stage of the course, participants should be familiar with the general processes involved in preparing a disaster risk management plan and have explored in detail the processes involved in risk assessment and mitigation. This stage in the course addresses the next stage of the disaster risk management cycle, which is responding during a disaster.

General Teaching Strategy for the Module

At this stage of the course, participants should be familiar with the general processes involved in preparing a disaster risk management plan and have explored in detail the processes involved in risk assessment and mitigation. This stage in the course addresses the next stage of the disaster risk management cycle, which is responding during a disaster. Effectively this stage deals with the period extending from the minute an event takes place to the time this critical phase is over and things are under control. Responses include evacuation of people and objects in addition to attempts to minimise damage. This stage acts as a bridge between the pre-disaster planning strategies and long term recovery actions.

Broadly, the following topics need to be addressed through this module:
