Overview
As disaster and emergency management professionals know, disasters are more than just hazards to avoid. To be a Master of Disaster, you need to see disasters in relation to the world itself.
This two-year Disaster and Emergency Management program from Royal Roads University looks at disaster and emergency management in an integrated, holistic way.
You'll learn how the environment, society, economics and politics all have an impact on how disasters unfold. You'll study how to plan for and mitigate disasters and emergencies, and to promote sustainable recovery when disaster strikes. And you'll look at ways to support communities at risk, increasing community resilience.
This program is meant for disaster and emergency management professionals and those who aspire to work in this growing field.
A one year Graduate Diploma in Disaster and Emergency Management is also offered. Credit for courses taken in the diploma program can transfer to the degree program.
Program outcomes
Once you have completed this program, you'll have skills like critical thinking, communication and an understanding of best practices to work in sectors like international development, disaster management and mitigation, emergency response and international NGOs.
