| This course aims to transfer advanced knowledge about disasters and emergencies. In particular, it is aimed to develop competencies related to the prevention of possible damages, risk analysis and risk reduction processes in disasters and emergencies. The main missions of large organizations, both locally and internationally, are to provide emergency humanitarian aid in these situations and to ensure that crises are minimized. Within the scope of this course, firstly, the cycle of disaster management will be examined in detail with an emphasis on pre-disaster preparedness and risk reduction. Then, disaster response, emergency relief, post-disaster recovery and reconstruction will be discussed. The whole cycle, especially risk analysis and risk reduction, will be deepened based on experienced examples. The structures and working styles of organizations responding to humanitarian crises such as natural or man-made disasters and migration will be examined and effective response, risk management and post-crisis work in such situations will be examined through interactive methods such as guests, case studies, field work, simulation. | |
