Disasters are events which profoundly disrupt human systems. The cause may be natural,
human-created or a combination, but the impact of a disaster on the social, economic,
environmental and technological context defines the nature of disaster. Effective
management of disasters requires people who can enable individuals/communities/organisations
to prepare for, respond to and recover from the impacts of disasters. People responsible
for effective management should have knowledge and skills necessary to advise or lead.
Upon completion of this unit, you will better understand the requirements for effective
disaster management including working with individuals, communities and organisations.
