Presentation

The minor in emergency management provides students with an opportunity to comprehensively study the disaster management cycle, including emergency planning, mitigation, response and recovery. In an age of dense population, increased terrorism, unpredictable weather and high public expectations of risk reduction and public leadership, this is an exciting and booming area of study. Students who complete a minor in emergency management gain additional insight and knowledge that will help them find positions in various federal, state and local government and nonprofit organizations. Some of these may include the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration, the Orange County Emergency Management Division, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, among others.
