PIE Academy: Disaster Management and Communication for Agriculture and Natural Resources

The following groups can apply this knowledge at work to lead their team through a disaster: 

• Leaders and practitioners in the ANR realm 

• Extension through in-service training (IST) 

• Agency staff 

• Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) 

• Community service organizations and nonprofits 

As you will learn throughout this course, disasters can have significant impacts on ANR. Disaster management efforts can help reduce negative impacts, support those affected, and enhance disaster resilience. Effective communication before, during, and after disaster events can increase transparency and trust in times of disaster. In addition, establishing relationships with stakeholders can be critical for an effective response and recovery.
