Course on Disaster Management
• Plan 471: Natural Hazards and Disaster Management
• A three credit course, 42 contact hours• Offered in the second semester of final year• An optional course
Objectives of the Course
• Understand what constitutes a disaster and the fundamental characteristics of different disaster events and their impacts on society and development
• Understand the different stages of DM, hazard assessment and vulnerability analysis process
• Attain a working knowledge of risk assessment and risk mapping
• Attain an understanding of the disaster management process in Bangladesh
�
Syllabus of the Course
• Part A– Meaning of Hazards and Disaster, Types of
hazards– Assessment of Hazards, Vulnerability Analysis– Risk Assessment, Risk Mapping– Analysis of disaster related behaviour pattern– People’s awareness, perception, understanding of
hazard threats and response to danger
Syllabus of the Course
• Part B– Disaster management planning: basic issues.– Phases of disaster management, general and
specific criteria governing steps in each phase– Links between development planning and DM
planning– Social consideration and people’s participation in
DM planing– Institutional Framework for DM in Bangladesh
�
Modification of the Course (Proposed)
• Current course involves 42 hours of lectures and no practice sessions.
• We propose to divide the 3-credit course into 2 credits of theory and 1 credit of sessional, i.e., 28 hours of lectures and 28 hours of practice sessions.
Case Study: Objectives
• Application of concepts and theories learnt in the Disaster Management course.
• Developing a more concrete understanding of the concepts of hazards, vulnerability and risk.
• Developing skills in risk assessment techniques.
�
Case Study: Objectives
• Developing skills in GIS is NOT an objective in this course, because we have separate courses on GIS and RS.
Developing the Case Study
2 Strategies:• Modify and stucture either of the two
studies presented earlier in this workshop:– Delineation of Flood Zones in Dhaka City– GIS-based Method for Estimating Emergency
Flood Relief Requirements
• Develop an entirely new case study
�
Developing the Case Study
We have decided to use the data collected for the earlier studies for developing the case studies.
We have also decided to develop case studies from both the earlier studies since we will have 28 hours of lab sessions.
Developing the Case Study
With the data collected and digitized for the flood area delineation study, develop a case study for Dhaka City. This would be the CASITA project case study.
For the study for estimating the required amount of emergency relief supplies, use hypothetical damage ratios to further develop the methodology.
Case Study(Tentative)
Assessing the Vulnerability of Critical Installations in Dhaka City
Critical Installations: Facilities and utility lines that are important for disaster management, especially in the immediate post disaster stage.
Examples: Hospitals, fire stations, power stations, water mains, power lines etc.
