EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE

Catalog description

Although many of the fundamental elements are similar across countries, there are also important differences in how emergency management is conducted around the world. In this course, we compare and contrast emergency management in different countries. The course is designed to provide students with a general, theoretical, and practical understanding of emergency management in other counties. This knowledge of the history, natural hazards, leadership, culture, experiences, and approaches of different countries will help us make connections and draw lessons for emergency management in the U.S.
