Category: GIS and Information Technology Training

Overview

The Expedition

About Program

This Disaster Risk Management Training is designed to strengthen the capacity of professionals in leveraging spatial data and remote sensing technologies for effective disaster preparedness and response. Participants will gain practical skills to assess hazards, map risks, and support early warning systems using GIS tools.

Offered both in-person and virtually, this program caters to professionals working in disaster risk reduction, urban planning, and emergency response. Upon successful completion, participants will receive a certification recognizing their skills in applying GIS and remote sensing to real-world disaster scenarios.

Program Objectives

Assess spatial data requirements for disaster risk management
Apply GIS and RS tools for hazard, vulnerability, and risk (HVR) assessments
Plan DRR interventions by using spatial multi-criteria analysis
Evaluate the availability of spatial data and appreciate the importance of spatial data infrastructure
Implement early warning systems on the basis of GIS and RS data
Employ Participatory GIS at a community level
Perform Damage assessment and generate necessary information for recovery planning

Target Audience

Disaster and Natural Hazard Risk Management Professionals
Professionals that require knowledge of GIS for disaster risk management
Geo-informatics professionals willing to enhance their knowledge of RS and GIS
Anyone who wants to advance his/her knowledge and skills on the use of GIS and RS disaster risk management and reduction

Training Period
