Emergency Management is the discipline of dealing with and avoiding risks. This field involves preparing for disaster before it occurs, disaster response (evacuation, quarantine and decontamination), and supporting and rebuilding societies after natural or human-made disasters occur.
One of the Massachusetts' State schools, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, currently offers a Bachelors Degree in Emergency Management. The Emergency Management program's educational coursework has been developed for each of three key concepts; hazard, risk, and disaster. The program component for hazard and risk (risk management) consists of a framework that explores four states in assessment and management including Risk Assessment, Control Analysis, Strategy Section and Implementation and Evaluation. In the case of disaster, the students will study the different temporal stages in a disaster cycle, including; Mitigation or Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Recovery. The program's depth and range of practical coursework and experience, provides an EM graduate, the skills for a smooth transition from college to a profession in the emergency management field.
