Course Highlights
This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides an in-depth look at strategies to improve school safety from natural hazards. It examines the vulnerabilities of school buildings and the effects of disasters like earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes on operations and community resilience. The presentation outlines best practices for mitigation, preparedness, and response, highlighting the importance of building codes, site selection, and emergency planning in minimizing disaster risks.
This presentation starts by outlining the challenges to school safety and pinpointing the specific vulnerabilities that schools encounter during natural hazard events. It discusses effective safety frameworks, including hazard assessments, risk reduction strategies, and emergency response planning. Participants will learn how to assess school infrastructure, adopt disaster-resistant construction practices, and create funding strategies for long-term safety enhancements. Furthermore, the presentation addresses both regulatory and voluntary measures that contribute to safer school environments and emphasizes the significance of community collaboration in building disaster resilience.
This 3 PDH online interactive presentation is designed for school administrators, facilities managers, engineers, emergency management professionals, and policymakers who are focused on improving school safety, disaster resilience, and operational continuity.
