AHA Centre Executive ProgrammeCritical Incident Leadership courses in SE Asia
Since 2020, Earth Sciences New Zealand, in partnership with the AHA Centre (ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance on Disaster Management) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT), has delivered Critical Incident Leadership courses.
The most recent training focused on Critical Understanding on Systemic Risk, Disaster-Climate-Nexus.
Overview
The project:
2024/2025 course was split into two parts and four modules.
- Part 1 comprised two online modules:
- Module 1 covered geohazards including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunami and landslides
- Module 2 covered hydro-climatological hazards such as cyclones, floods and drought (with climate change embedded in every hazard). In each module, Earth Sciences New Zealand introduced the potential cascading and compounding behavior of natural hazards.
- Part 2 is a two-module face-to-face activity focused on how to plan for systemic disaster risk events in Southeast Asia, which was delivered in an action-based workshop. The exercise sought to provide participants with an opportunity to develop a national systemic-disaster risk-management plan.
Project scope
- direct engagement with AHA Center to develop an e-learning management system using Moodle
- development of digital assets, material and exercises to enable course delivery
- four modules delivered online and in person.
Building a generation of future ASEAN leaders
The New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade (MFAT), through the New Zealand Aid Programme, has provided ACE Programme support since 2014. It has engaged several other New Zealand institutions, including Earth Sciences New Zealand, as part of the effort to build a generation of future ASEAN leaders in disaster management.
This project continues the implementation of the delivery of Critical Incident Leadership (CIL) courses in ACE programme iterations during 2014–2022.
The current project focuses on building the capacity of ACE-LEDMP participants on the fundamental concepts and theories of key drivers of multi-hazards and systemic risk across the disaster risk reduction / climate change adaptation nexus globally and in the context of ASEAN.
