The curriculum includes opportunities to develop stronger partnerships between the public and private sectors, provide checklist based resources for use in a pre- and post-disaster environment, and best practices for enhancing community mitigation and disaster resilience. The course is driven by a scenario-based curriculum designed to apply knowledge, skills, and abilities on housing recovery, with a focus on the whole community approach to emergency management.
