This subject aims to teach students the main elements of emergency management for natural disasters and, to a lesser degree, terrorist attack. Students gain an understanding of the principles involved in emergency management, their application and interaction with the disaster recovery process of an effected community after a natural disaster or terrorist attack. The subject also provides insight into planning issues deployed to minimise disaster incidents. Areas of speciality within the emergency management guidelines such as floods, bushfires, etc., are covered and tailored in each course to the majority of students' working backgrounds. A practical demonstration of emergency exercise planning relating to a building collapse is also provided.

Assessment: Assessment is on the basis of four assessments, each worth 25 per cent.
