HSEM 106 - Disaster Response and Recovery Operations

Institution:

Ivy Tech Community College-Central Office

Subject:

Homeland Security/Emerg Mgmt

Description:

This course addresses future approaches to reducing damage from natural hazards, aimed at breaking the vicious cycle of disaster/rebuilding/disaster through pre-disaster hazard mitigation programs and policies. These proactive approaches seek to stem the tide of losses from repetitive damage incurred by development within known hazard areas, such as floodplains, storm surge areas, and earthquake fault zones. We will also look at disaster policy that focus on preparing for an imminent disaster, through evacuation and temporary property protection; responding to a disaster that has occurred, through search and rescue and debris clearance; and recovering from a past disaster, through rebuilding damaged structures.
