PC432 - DISASTER RESPONSE and RECOVERY

This course will familiarise students with the different types of action that can be put in place to respond to and recover from disasters. The general situation and policy and framework context will set the scene in the first part of the course. The second part will focus on humanitarian response to disasters and will cover different issues such as search and rescue, logistics, shelter, food security, inclusivity of vulnerable groups and coordination and communication. The third part of the course will focus on recovery and building back better in a changing climate to improve resilience. This course will have a practical approach since the student’s final project is the realisation of a disaster response and recovery plan for a community, business, department, school, etc

The different aspects of the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) and the Humanitarian Response will be critically analysed with illustrations from examples from the region. The course will also analyse the recovery phase with a focus on building back better in a changing climate and with the aim to build resilience of Pacific communities. Students will develop better communication skills for Disaster Management (DM) with a better understanding of the importance of incorporating gender-sensitive and inclusive approaches.

PD303 - Applied Demography

The population processes of fertility, mortality and migration and their implications for decisionmaking planning will be examined in this course. Demographic, social and economic data are crucial to strategic decision-making for public policies, businesses, industries and public enterprises. Future planning in business, employment and all other aspects of socioeconomic development depend on the forecasts and projections of demographic data and their trends and patterns of change. The course will examine demographic and social data and statistics, local area demographic and business profiles, sources of demographic and socio-economic data, their usefulness and quality, data for planning needs by local authorities and the state. Further, it will use techniques of population projections and projection software to project population and labour force. Local and regional databases will be accessed in order to give students
