Introduction to Disaster Risk Reduction for Managers and Engineers

Disasters are increasing in frequency and intensity, and their impact and cost are also on the rise. Apart from human losses, the other largest victims are businesses and organizations due to their exuberant financial costs. We can’t stop disasters from happening. However, the research shows that these costs can be reduced substantially by advanced preparation and mitigation strategies.

This training is designed to equip managers and engineers with the knowledge and skills to identify and assess disaster risks, develop and implement risk reduction measures, and improve the disaster resilience of an organization.
