Introduksjon

Crisis management, also called emergency - , disaster -, and/or risk management, depending on the context, is more important than ever. Political instability and climate change are among drivers that increase the number of manmade and natural disasters globally, affecting increasing numbers of people and creating more economic damage. The aim of this course is to provide students with tools, knowledge and understanding, enabling them to work with developing and implementing sustainable disaster preparedness and response in various contexts. In particular the course relate to SDGs 3, 6, 9, 16 and 17. The course will be a meeting arena for different actors involved including municipal, governmental and non-governmental institutions and organizations, civil protection and military forces, commercial companies and financial institutions. It covers both national and international contexts. A major aspect of any disaster preparedness, response, and recovery is the organizing of supply chains to secure provisions. Accordingly, the course will put specific emphasis on the logistics of disaster and crisis management.

Undervisnings- og læringsaktiviteter

Nine teaching days in three 3-day modules, amounting to 72 hours. The students must expect to use at least 400 study hours, which is the norm for 15 ECTS. In addition, students have one reading day per week and some extra time for working on the term paper. Students are responsible for obtaining information given in the lectures not posted on the program website/itslearning or in other course material.

We recommend you to take the E-learning course at http://www.buildingabetterresponse.org/ offered by Harvard for free. It will give you a good introduction to and understanding of the international context, with a particular focus on humanitarian assistance.

Attendance in simulations/trainings during the course is strongly recommended.

The students are evaluated based on and individual home examination and a term paper written in groups of up to three persons accounting for 15 ECTS credits. We recommend starting the work on the term paper early to supplement classroom learning. The term paper should be 15-20 pages and will concern application of methods, tools, and concepts on a situation in practice, e.g. from own workplace.
