EMS 483 - Recovery and Continuity of Operations


Prerequisites: EMS 482 
This course provides students with a look into governmental efforts at long-term community recovery from a natural disaster. In most cases, this consists of rebuilding the physical aspects of the community such as vital community services and infrastructure and creating housing to replace that which has been lost. The course teaches us how to understand how communities develop and/or decay in an extreme natural hazard event. The course will study how the appreciation of community dynamics and the consequences of extreme events enables us to identify critical points for policy intervention at appropriate levels of government.
