The course aims to provide students with a theoretical and practical understanding of natural and technological hazards. Students will learn to identify different types of risks and design effective management strategies to prevent or mitigate them. The course will cover an exhaustive analysis of the main technological courses, with a focus on industrial risks. Among the natural risks, meteorological and flood risks will be taken as an example throughout the course. Prevention, forecasting and protection measures will be identified. Economic / regulatory methods to mitigate risk will also be discussed.
