INSTITUTE FOR RISK AND DISASTER REDUCTION Presentation title

INSTITUTE FOR RISK AND DISASTER REDUCTION Our Mission The UCL Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction’s mission is to make a positive and significant impact to reduce risk and the impact of disasters around the world. Through research and education, and in partnership with humanitarian agencies and industry, we aim to drive policy change and create and develop leaders and experts able to analyse complex challenges and provide sustainable solutions.

Our programmes Space Risk and Disaster Reduction INSTITUTE FOR RISK AND DISASTER REDUCTION Our programmes Space Risk and Disaster Reduction In an increasingly technological and globally connected world, risks to space-based communications systems and critical infrastructure are emerging threats to national security and businesses. In a programme that unites emergency response, disaster risk reduction and space technology, you will learn about satellite technology, mission design, hazards and vulnerabilities unique to outer space, disaster response, and the monitoring of hazards on Earth from outer space.

Risk and Disaster Science INSTITUTE FOR RISK AND DISASTER REDUCTION Risk and Disaster Science The global challenge of understanding risk, increasing resilience and reducing exposure to hazards has generated demand for a new type of scientist in government, business and NGOs who can work across boundaries. In a science led programme, you will learn how to assess and quantify risk, reduce disaster risks and manage emergencies for natural and anthropogenic hazards, humanitarian and health crises, conflict and climate change.

Risk, Disaster and Resilience INSTITUTE FOR RISK AND DISASTER REDUCTION Risk, Disaster and Resilience The disaster risk management industry needs professionalising. Academic study can underpin this, enabling you to apply evidence and research based theory to this sector. Through a multidisciplinary approach to risk and disaster reduction, you will gain expertise in analysing complex challenges and providing sustainable solutions and learn to become a future leader driving policy change and innovation in order to preserve lives and sustain economies which could otherwise be destroyed or damaged by disaster.
