Course overview
Natural disasters come in many forms. There are thunderstorms, blizzards, hurricanes, and heat waves to consider. Then there are geological disasters, like earthquakes and volcanoes to contend with. How organizations should prepare for these types of events varies greatly depending upon location, industry, and other factors. However, there are some similarities in response strategies, regardless of the type of disaster. In order to respond, you must know what to do before, during, and after the event. That’s what we’ll cover in this program.
