EMGT 6604 - Holistic Disaster Recovery: Creating a More Sustainable Future

This course will educate students about sustainable disaster recovery, including the principles, concepts, processes and practice currently used in the United States. The course is designed to rely heavily on the use of case studies to clarify course objectives and explain recovery topics. Case studies, taken from across the country and addressing different hazards, will emphasize both examples of effective and ineffective recovery strategies. Course work will include examples that have occurred in New England and surrounding regions. This may facilitate additional student involvement. 3 credits.
