EM 3121 - Risk Management

Institution:

Massachusetts Maritime Academy

Subject:

Description:

This course follows the FEMA protocol of organizing resources, assessing risks, developing a mitigation plan, and implementing the plan. Assessing the risk is the major part of the course as it involves identifying the hazards, profi ling the hazard events, inventorying assets, and estimating losses. During the Introduction to GIS course, base maps for assigned towns are constructed in MARPLOT and ArcGIS. These base maps have much of the population and inventory in place. The MARPLOT map is used in the CAMEO system to determine the effect of a technological hazard on population and inventory. The ArcGIS base map is used with an extension called HAZUS to estimate the losses of a hurricane. Mitigation measures are then applied through each of the systems to estimate the effect on the losses of same. A Risk Management Plan is generated on the above studies.
