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: risk assessment, control analysis, strategy section, and implementation and evaluation. In the case of disaster, the students study the different temporal stages in a disaster cycle, including mitigation or prevention, preparedness, response and recovery.

Situated in the Harrington Building, the Emergency Operations Training Center provides a teaching environment that simulates real EM Operations Centers. Special and unusual problems addressed include Covid-19.
