COURSE OVERVIEW
This course provides a comprehensive foundation in Disaster Risk Management (DRM), combining conceptual knowledge with practical application across the full DRM cycle. Through a blend of online and face-to-face modules, participants explore disaster risk identification, climate-informed risk assessment, preparedness planning, emergency response coordination, and post-disaster recovery. The course emphasizes risk reduction, sustainable development linkages, and context-specific implementation strategies. Participants gain practical skills to strengthen institutional capacity, improve preparedness and response systems, and design effective recovery and re-entry action plans.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
This course seeks to strengthen institutional and professional capacities in Disaster Risk Management (DRM) by:
• Building a solid foundation of disaster-related concepts, terminologies, frameworks, and emerging risk trends.
• Enhancing technical capacity in disaster risk identification and assessment, including hazard, vulnerability, and capacity analysis.
• Strengthening understanding of the implications of climate change on disaster risk profiles and assessment methodologies.
• Promoting comprehensive disaster risk reduction approaches across prevention, mitigation, and preparedness phases.
• Strengthening capacities for systematic disaster preparedness planning to support effective response operations.
• Enhancing knowledge of coordination mechanisms and operational requirements for effective emergency response management.
• Building competencies in post-disaster damage and needs assessment and recovery planning, including economic considerations.
• Supporting the integration of DRM principles into sustainable development processes and context-specific implementation strategies.
COURSE CONTENTS
Module 1: Introduction to Disaster Risk Management (Online)
This module introduces participants to disaster-related concepts and terminologies, disaster risk trends, DRM frameworks, tools, approaches, and methods. It will provide a foundation to build a stronger analytical ability of DRM and its multifaceted relationship with other aspects.
Module 2: Disaster Risk Identification and Assessment (Online)
This module introduces disaster risk identification and assessment processes that include conducting hazard, vulnerability, and capacity assessments and provides a practical exercise in overall risk identification and assessment. The module also examines the application of risk assessments in DRM processes and looks at the impact of climate change on the risk assessment approaches.
Module 3: Disaster Risk Reduction and Sustainable Development (Online)
This module discusses risk reduction through prevention, preparedness, and mitigation activities with COVID-19 still present. We will also look at sustainable development and explore linkages between disasters and development and emphasize the importance of mainstreaming DRR in sustainable development planning and implementation.
Module 4: Disaster Preparedness Planning (Face to Face)
This module focuses on developing skills in effective planning for disaster preparedness. It takes participants through different stages of preparedness planning and provides essential guidelines for preparedness planning for an effective response.
Module 5: Emergency Response (Face to Face)
This module focuses on the specifics of coordination and management of emergency response in disaster situations. The concepts and practices of emergency response, including emergency coordination centers and how these are critical to the effective response operations in a disaster situation, will be covered. Moreover, this module will include case studies from Asia and the Pacific on recent disasters and practical response strategies.
Module 6: Disaster Recovery (Face to Face)
This module focuses on Post-disaster Damage and Need Assessments and Disaster Recovery. We will also take a closer look at disaster economics. This module also explores the post disaster recovery process as an entry point and opportunity for longer-term risk reduction through greater stakeholder engagement.
Module 7: Making Sustainable Disaster Management Work (Face to Face)
This module discusses significant overarching requirements for the implementation of disaster management in the context of sustainable development. It introduces crosscutting issues to help increase the effectiveness of disaster management activities. As DRM needs to be applied based on contextual aspects, this module will discuss about diversified contexts and how it can be effective and successful.
COURSE METHODOLOGIES
The course adopts a hybrid, practice-oriented learning approach, combining online modules with intensive face-to-face sessions. Conceptual foundations are delivered through online learning, while in-person sessions emphasize applied learning through case studies, group work, simulations, and facilitated discussions. Regional examples from Asia and the Pacific are used to translate DRM concepts into practical application across the disaster risk management cycle.
TARGET PARTICIPANTS
The course is designed for government officials, UN and affiliated staff, NGO and civil society practitioners, development professionals, defense personnel, and planners involved in disaster risk management, disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, and sustainable development at national and sub-national levels.
COURSE FEES
$1,550 (without accommodation)
$2,036 [with accommodation (6 nights)]
Fees are inclusive of course materials (soft copy), cost of instructions and course certificate. For face-to-face training, fee is inclusive of morning and afternoon snacks and lunch during the course.
