Hazard, Risk, and Vulnerability Analyses (HRVA)

Using a selection of tools, this course guides students through the process of identifying hazards, evaluating risks, assessing vulnerabilities and resilience, and assessing impacts of potential disasters on communities and agencies. This course also discusses hazard mitigation, resilience plans, community engagement, and continuous improvement. For a mapping exercise, you are invited (but not required) to bring a printed map of your local community. You may also bring your laptop or tablet.
