ENVS 465 - Disaster Risk Reduction

In this course students examine the socio-political and historical causes of disasters and how these events result in unjust outcomes, with an emphasis on international contexts. Students study sources of social vulnerability and resilience, thematically and geographically, and explore strategies for disaster risk reduction. While this course is required for those pursuing the Disaster Risk Reduction minor, it may also be of interest for students interested in environmental justice, sustainability, geography, community development, and urban planning.

Prerequisites & Notes: ENVS 362 or ENVS 372; or instructor permission.
Credits: 4
Grade Mode: Letter
