Education
Nature is a dynamic system where the steady state does not exist but can be described as punctuated equilibrium. Lives can be saved by some very basic knowledge. With a little more education you can learn how to avoid living and building in areas that will prove disastrous now and again.
People who are moving to live and work in parts of the world of which they have only restricted knowledge need to get basic education on the impact of natural hazards, particularly so if they are going to the Pacific rim—The Ring of Fire.
Rescue services and armed forces need training not only in psychology and disaster management skills but in advance also in the natural hazards of the area of mission.
We have long experience in educating about natural hazards and their impact on people and ecosystems in all parts of the world. We can tailor courses in English about any geographical area and we have so far given courses from one day (for people without much background knowledge) to three weeks (for M.Sc. and Ph.D. Candidates, UERJ, Rio de Janeiro).
