Description | Students interested in studying emergency management and homeland security with a concentration in community resilience will become prepared to support their own communities before, during and after crises, such as natural hazards, infectious diseases or acts of terrorism. The community resilience degree concentration is part of the Master of Arts in emergency management and homeland security program. This degree includes five concentrations including community resilience. You’ll pick a concentration based on your previous professional experience and future career goals.
One way to reduce the impact of natural hazards on the nation is to enhance resilience within communities. Natural hazard-resilient communities are equipped with strategies to effectively respond to crises. It’s important for communities to proactively prepare for crises, so they can successfully overcome setbacks to their community members, businesses and the economy as swiftly as possible. Students will learn to plan, manage and make quick decisions during emergencies. These are essential skills for professionals in natural hazard resilience and response leadership positions. | | |
