70% of all disasters are now related to climate change based extreme weather events. Learn how to design a Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction program to protect livelihoods and save lives.
An 8 week, self-paced Emergency Preparedness training program where you will each continue improving your development project. Each one of the assignments will be a concrete step in preparing your project for launch and eventual community takeover. By the end of the 8 weeks, you will have developed a participatory mapping of disaster risks, hazards, assets and community capacity, and then consulted with a DRR training expert to develop a participatory DRR training process for a Disaster Risk Reduction Program.
The Emergency Preparedness solutions that students have been developing include designing a community-based water use management plan. Community members will first assess their disaster related risks, hazards, vulnerabilities and capacities, and then consult with a DRR expert to develop a participatory process and training program for launching the DRR plan.
A dual approach will be used in this Emergency Preparedness course:
1. The course will lead you through the continued development of your project by working closely with and engaging community members.
2. For long-term sustainability you will consult with a DRR expert to develop a participatory process and training program for developing the DRR plan.
1. This Emergency Preparedness course is perfect for nonprofit and development professionals working in areas such as food security, watershed management, agriculture, the environment, sustainable development, or DRR—and who want to develop practitioner-level skills. If you are a grant writer, nonprofit staff member, consultant, project manager—or an executive director—you will develop real skills mastery.
2. This course is just as relevant to a person considering a career transition into the development world and wanting to develop employable skills.

“Dear Tim, I have already taken two previous online courses (Conflict Management and Gender and Development).
None of these can compare to your course in terms of innovation and stimulation to action and reflection that develop learners’ competences.
Another uniqueness about your course is the quality and quantity of the resources provided on the website. They are gold mines!
