EDHS 230 - Community Lifelines

Fall 2024 class on Tuesday and Thursday  1pm - 2:15 pm

Lifelines are the most fundamental services in the community that, when stabilized, enable all other aspects of society. When disrupted due to disasters or public health emergencies, decisive intervention (e.g., rapid service re-establishment or employment of contingency response solutions) is required.  Different population groups experience different levels of impact based on societal inequities.  This course will provide a comprehensive overview of community lifelines, how they are disrupted during disaster and public health emergencies, and the human health impacts of their disruption.
