Disaster Preparedness and Response

Course Description

Recent emergencies, such as the major hurricanes in the Caribbean and the earthquake in Mexico, highlight the increasingly important role mobile plays during times of crisis. As mobile communication becomes ever more critical to the success of disaster response efforts, there is a need for policymakers and regulators to better understand how they can support the benefits that mobile communication delivers during emergencies. This course looks at how the inclusion of mobile in disaster response plans can help save lives and speed up recovery times.
