About this Unit
This unit addresses the psychosocial and mental health aspects of disaster management, the systems of disaster response and how these aspects are relevant across the all-hazard approach to Prevention, Preparation, Response and Recovery (PPRR). It addresses the current evidence and understanding of this field, leadership and management across the PPRR spectrum and the public health, clinical and other coordination in terms of impact and outcome. It deals with Australian requirements and systems as well as international and Australian roles in the region.
