See the use of probability statistics in search and rescue, for example. This course is structured to achieve two main objectives. The first is to illuminate the important concepts in descriptive as well as inferential statistics: measures of central tendency and dispersion, normal distributions, probability theory, hypothesis testing, statistical significance, measures of association, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The second objective is to explain how to manage and interpret data using SPSS, a statistical software package commonly used in the social sciences.

This course will provide students with an overview of the debris/waste management process for each of the four phases of emergency and disaster management. Other topics that will be included in the course to strengthen students’ understanding of the content include the history of solid waste management in the United States, solid waste management issues in a geographic perspective, and the relationship between municipal solid waste and disaster debris.

EDM 345 - Weather and Disaster
Geological processes and weather related events like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, extreme heat, floods, hurricanes, lightening, tornadoes, tsunamis, droughts, and winter weather all pose risks that may warrant emergency response. Preventing, preparing, mitigating and responding to weather related events are the tasks of emergency and disaster management responders. National weather maps, storm alerts and accurate forecasting can aid in emergency preparation, yet are rarely as clear-cut as desired. Understanding these complex factors, in addition to how weather can effect the response to emergency deployments for other types of disaster, are important considerations. Weather related events can also lead to other types of emergency outcomes such as the spread of disease in flood zone areas. Understanding the intersection of geological process, weather related events and emergency preparation and response is the focus of this course.
Prerequisites EDM 250 or permission of instructor
Credits 3

-
EDM 348 - Recovering from Disaster
When disaster strikes, a community can build back better than before or alternatively must adapt to a new normal because of limited resources to recover from disaster. This variation in recovery is the focus of this course. Communities with resources that allow them to anticipate, cope with, respond to, and recover from disasters are often described as being more resilient than communities who cannot. How resource availability can reduce or increase the recovery from disasters is important to understand. Resilient communities have greater access to both tangible and intangible resources, such as physical, political, economic and social capital. How communities mobilize their resources and demonstrate their resilience, and the factors that determine the effectiveness of their responses, are varied and influenced by social, institutional, environmental, economic and historic variables. This course will explore the factors that explain variation in recovery and resiliency. Additionally, students will analyze patterns of emergency response in the U.S. as they relate to recovering from disaster.
Prerequisites EDM 250 or permission of instructor

EDM 350 - Cyber Terrorism
This course investigates the role and impact of cyber terrorism, cyber-attacks, and possible countermeasures. International cyber terrorism will focus on what cyber warfare is, who initiates it, and how a nation, corporations, or individuals might prevent, prepare, mitigate and respond to such attacks. This type of warefare exists in an effort to compromise perceived enemies and secure potential benefits by damaging enemies’ infrastructures and resources, and by gaining control of desired information or technology of the targeted victim. Cyber-attacks are not limited to nations, but may target local governments, corporations, and even individuals. This course will also examine security protocols that are recommended for protecting an entity from a cyber-attack and assess the extent to which these protocols are used.

EDM 352 - Disaster and Crime
Understanding how economic, political and social dynamics interact with disaster events to explain crime and victimization during crisis is the focus of this course. While natural or man-made disaster can cause sudden disruption to communities that often result in helping behaviors, there is growing evidence that people may engage in anti-social or criminal behavior during times of a disaster as well. A better understanding of why, when and where criminal behaviors are likely to surface during the disaster life cycle is needed. This course will examine how the different phases of disaster relate to criminal activity in the disaster context, and then examine how the criminal justice system responds to the different types of crime in the wake of disaster.
