Practicum in Disaster Response involves a semester-long fieldwork experience emphasizing preparation and response to potential emergencies and disasters. All students will meet weekly as a group with the practicum instructor for discussion and group supervision. Students will also spend six hours per week in the field at a designated site, such as the American Red Cross or County Emergency Management offices. During practicum it is expected that students will make themselves available for emergency response in the event of a local disaster.
