Is it possible for a society to prepare adequately for such "major disasters", how do we acquire the competence to act in crisis situations? What scenarios are used as a basis and how do we learn to prepare for and manage these things professionally? How do we meet the requirement to raise awareness that education and training play a key role in disaster preparedness and management?
We talk about this topic with geographer Prof. Dr. Lothar Schrott, head of the postgraduate Master's course "Master of Disaster Management and Risk Governance (KaVoMa)" at the University of Bonn, which is offered in cooperation with the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK).
