Students may still wish to watch the on-line course. The course description reads: This course considers the prevention, management and community recovery from disasters. Disasters are increasingly frequent from many causes, and communities can work together to overcome them. The course will review activities of the ongoing Youth Looking Beyond Disaster (LBD) program, and compare roles of volunteers and governments, and the infrastructures that can enhance the recovery from disaster. The course will review principles used in different cultures to prevent disasters and methods used to recover from them. It will evaluate activities that will be effective for community action that will build community resilience together by reducing the risk before, providing better relief during, and recovering rapidly after a disaster.
