EMG307 Developing a Disaster Recovery Plan (16)

In this subject students will develop an understanding of the strategies to be implemented to assist a community to recover after a disaster. This involves students learning how to apply the Community Analysis process to a community of their choice in order to develop and generate a genuine community recovery management plan. This also includes the use of emergency/ disaster event management case studies to identify strengths and weaknesses relating to the management of recovery activities within those events and the identification of strategies that will enhance the community recovery management in future emergency/ disaster events.
