ADVANCED
COURSE IN DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
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.
