Natural Hazards Impacts to Facilities & Infrastructure
CMET 5000, ESCI 5000, GEOG 5000

Graduate

Fall 2023

Fall 2020

This course is designed to cover the hazards and hazard risks associated with the environment we live and build in. An understanding of these events is necessary in preparing and building for a sustainable and resilient community. This course will cover different hazards from hurricanes to tornadoes to earthquakes to even human-induced hazards. The focus will be on those hazards that are likely to cause high impacts to our infrastructure and communities. Topics include mechanisms behind the formation of hazards, how hazards interact with infrastructure to result in damage, overall community resilience to hazards, effects of climate change, and an introduction to ArcGIS for spatial mapping of infrastructure assets and hazards.
