Disaster Risk Management aims to develop Learners’ advanced understanding of disaster risk, vulnerability, resilience and emergency planning within community development contexts. Learners will critically examine hazards, exposure, vulnerability, risk assessment, preparedness, response, recovery, climate-related risk and community resilience.
The unit also explores the roles of communities, governments, humanitarian agencies and development partners in reducing disaster risk and supporting sustainable recovery. On completion, Learners will be able to analyse complex disaster risk contexts, apply risk management frameworks and evaluate strategies for disaster preparedness, response, recovery and resilience in community development practice.
This unit forms part of the Community Development and Social Change Qualification.
Example Candidate Response Booklet
Example Candidate Response (ECR) Booklets are a source of crucial information for Centres and Candidates as they use real candidate responses. We ask Senior Examiners to comment on five or more responses in terms of why the mark was awarded with commentary about how to improve the answer (if necessary).
