Two basic disaster management courses, "Aim and Scope of Disaster Management" and "Principles of Management" are available on the Internet. These courses can be used for personal enrichment and/or as an introduction to the study of disaster management through the University of Wisconsin - Extension's Disaster Management Center.
The center now has twelve print-based courses available, and most are also available in Spanish versions. These courses are part of a structured curriculum leading to a diploma in disaster/emergency management. Written information on the diploma is available on request to UW-DMC, e-mail: dmc@engr.wisc.edu; phone: 608/262-5441; fax: 608/263-3160.
The two DMC courses offered on Internet provide an overview of disaster management. Additional UW-DMC courses that will be available on Internet soon are:
The Spanish version of Aim and Scope of Disaster Management (Objetivos y alcance del manejo de desastres) is also planned for release this year. The courses can be taken for Continuting Education Units (CEUs) (see below). Students will receive printed course materials as part of the enrollment cost, in addition to the access to the electronic version of the materials.
Enrollment fee covers course materials and a proctored exam, which is evaluated by university staff.
