Course Overview

What happens when disaster strikes—will your organization be ready, or will it be caught off guard? Fires, cyberattacks, natural disasters, and even social unrest can disrupt operations in seconds. But the difference between chaos and control lies in preparation.

This course gives you the tools to anticipate risks, prepare for the unexpected, and respond with confidence. Using global best practices from ISO 31000 (Risk Management), ISO 22301 (Business Continuity), and ISO 27001 (Information Security), you’ll learn how to assess threats, implement controls, and design disaster response strategies that protect both people and assets. With interactive simulations, real-world case studies, and practical exercises, you won’t just understand disaster risk management—you’ll be able to apply it when it matters most.
