About this Unit
The unit consists of project based studies that explore how human societies prepare for and respond to disasters and emergencies. The unit uses case studies to investigate the historical practice of risk assessment and prevention strategies for community safety during times of critical incidents, including emergency management strategies for community recovery, public education about critical incidents and how the effects of emergencies can be reduced to assist with community recovery. The unit will facilitate improved understanding by developing scenarios of impending issues such as global pandemics of infectious disease, natural disasters and man made emergencies (terrorism).
