Description
AFTER THE DAMAGES Summer School, 2020 Edition, is an intensive two weeks e-learning program for 25 international students, graduates, professionals accross disciplines, who intend to pursue a specialization in the field of risk management of built and cultural heritage. The Summer School will be focused on the impacts and dynamics of anthropic and natural hazards (earthquakes, fires, floods, droughts, volcanic eruptions, etc.). By learning the most updated approaches dealing with the post-disaster phase, participants will be trained on the most effective tools to cope with potential international crisis scenarios and mitigate the social impact of vulnerabilities also through risk reduction.
The Summer School program offers intensive training, through lectures either frontally in the synchronous and asynchronous form via e-learning, and through virtual fieldwork and thematic inspections, covering both the essential concepts and the updated tools for the reduction of the disasters’ risks, focusing on different natural hazards, including multiple events and consequent effects. Through the disaster cycle (i.e., mitigation, preparation, response, and recovery) and the interaction of natural hazards with human society, the method of disaster risk reduction is explored.
Duration of the course: 2 Weeks
Course fee: € 3.000,00 - For the July 2020 edition, 20 training vouchers are available to cover the 20 available positions, whose fee will, therefore, be fully covered by the funds of the Emilia-Romagna Region.
