Subject: Advanced Course in Disaster Risk Reduction (Sept)
ADVANCED COURSE IN DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
8-10 SEPTEMBER 2004, Oudrift Riverside Lodge, Potchefstroom, NW, South
Africa
This course is aimed at providing the learner with an enhanced
understanding
of disaster risk. The first part of the module ensures a level playing
field
by defining the most important concepts. The section thereafter explores
the
interrelatedness of hazards, risk and vulnerability. A distinction is
drawn
between what constitutes a risk, a hazard and vulnerability. The
emphasis is
also on the classification of hazards. Different categories of hazards
are
explained. The permanent and temporal characteristics of hazards are
alluded
to in order to obtain an understanding of their make-up. Once the parts
of
hazards have been explained the focus is shifted to that of hazard
assessment. Some practical application in hazard assessment is covered.
The
subsequent sections look at vulnerability and the factors that
contribute to
vulnerability. The last part of this module focuses on risk and
vulnerability analysis.
Cost: R3100.00 per person
