Disaster Management Summer Course

Disaster Management

MET AD 614

This course takes concepts covered in MET AD 617 and applies them in more detail mainly to the corporate-private sector environment. During this course, students first review the organization and processes necessary to effectively respond to and manage incidents, including the transition from emergency response and incident management to business recovery. The course focuses on disaster recovery, an essential but sometimes overlooked component of any successful corporate recovery program, and emphasizes technology recovery. This includes reviewing the key elements of the IT infrastructure; how these components are accounted for in the response and recovery processes, and some best practices in technology recovery modeling. Several emerging technologies relative to cloud computing, information security, and more are also examined.
