Recently, we observed a rise in healthcare and civic disasters, including but not limited to the COVID19 pandemic, opioid crisis, bush fires, floods, droughts, etc. These events have significant impact not only on the way people live and work, but also seriously affect business organization, strategy, and management. With the rapidly increasing availability of data on health and civic disasters, it becomes increasingly important to learn how we can utilize available information and data sources in order to predict, alleviate and adjust to their impact. This unit of study provides a comprehensive introduction into methods and tools, which could be utilized to better understand and manage the effects of major health, climate and other civic events by analysing and deriving important intelligence from data.
