The purpose of the disaster risk management (DRM) workshop is both to develop practical skills for humanitarian practitioners who are involved in initiatives across the disaster risk management cycle spectrum; as well as to provide knowledge of broader DRM issues and best practice scenarios. This is a practically-based intensive workshop which combines both classroom teaching and, for those seeking advanced standing, follow-up assignments. The program includes case studies from recent Australian and overseas disasters over the past decade. The workshop includes a half-day field visit on Day 3.
The DRM workshop is particularly strong in covering the following topics: (i) an overview of key DRM issues; (ii) key diagrams including the DRM cycle, and the effective disaster risk reduction diagram; (iii) case studies including major global and Australian disasters over the past decade; (iv) risk management, including the latest ISO 31000 risk management process; (v) disaster risk reduction, both at the government level, as well as complementary community based disaster risk management initiatives; (vi) professionalization of the humanitarian sector, and the development of humanitarian competencies; (vii) psycho-social support and community health and well-being; (viii) DRM-related project management; (ix) DRM standards and codes of conduct; and (x) security management.
