Cities have been at the centre of the COVID-19 pandemic where more than half of
the world’s population reside. Cities have been deeply impacted by the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic which continues to highlight the wide socio-economic
inequities and multi-hazard risks that exist in the urban settings. This course
examines the existing risk in cities and aims to introduce participants with
knowledge and tools to manage all-hazard risks for effective health emergency
and disaster risk management and building resilient cities from a health
perspective. Additionally, the course highlights the importance of using
equitable, gender-sensitive and human rights-based approaches; including the
whole of society and maintaining alignment will all relevant international
frameworks.

cities by 2050, risk-informed emergency preparedness and multi-sectoral planning
in cities are critical to prevent, prepare for, and mitigate the impacts of
emergencies. This course aims to highlight the importance of health emergency
and disaster risk management for city resilience in line with the International
Health Regulations (2005) and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.
The course will focus on the:

 * Concepts and tools of Health Emergency and Disaster Risk Management;
   
 * Strategic risk assessment and planning;
 * Safety, security and resilience of health facilities;
 * Multisectoral partnerships through resource mapping and impact analysis;
 * Concepts and tools to address the challenges of zoonotic hazards in urban and
   suburban settings and the approach to limit their spread using the Joint Risk
   Assessment Operational Tool, applying one-health principles; and
 * The critical operational tools for continuous system testing and improvements
   in cities using Country Simulation Exercises (SimEx) and reviews.

The target audience for this course are local and national government officials
in charge of disaster risk reduction and management, urban development and
planning, public health; emergency preparedness, national associations of
municipalities; urban resilience and development practitioners; civil society,
private sector, academia.
