Building economics capacity within emergency management: tools and training for managers and practitioners

Although there is significant interest in economics within the emergency management sector, there is a general lack of capacity when applying economics to natural hazard management. 

This research, from the University of Western Australia, produced and delivered resources to natural hazard managers and practitioners that are helping improve their use of economic data and analyses. 

The resources include the Value Tool for Natural Hazards, the Economic Assessment Screening Tool, an explainer video series and an online training course. All of these resources are now available to anyone who would like to improve their understanding of how to use economics in natural hazard management.
