#  GOV 1013: GIS Analysis of Hazard Vulnerability 

 



 Students will learn fundamental concepts and widely-used methodologies for assessing hazard, social vulnerability, and community resilience using geospatial analysis techniques. The course covers topics such as natural hazards, COVID-19, and multi-hazard analysis. Students will benefit from assignments primarily using ArcGIS Pro. The course goes beyond a simple hazard-by-hazard approach and integrates perspectives from the physical and social sciences to identify and describe risk and vulnerability using real-world data and examples. This course provides critical training for students interested in hazard geography, GIS, urban planning, emergency management, and related fields. Prerequisites include a basic knowledge of and hands-on experience with GIS.
