Students learn about national responses to all types of disasters and emergencies in the United States; and how the NRF’s flexibility is used in the public-private sector of the homeland security enterprise, including governmental agencies and regulatory and legal sources responsible for hazard mitigation. Students apply concepts learned in the course to risk assessments and in developing strategies and plans at local, state, national, and international levels.
