I recently completed the 'Disaster Risk Reduction and Flood Management' course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a great experience. The course provided a solid foundation in disaster risk reduction, with a focus on practical skills and real-world applications. I appreciated the emphasis on community-based initiatives and the importance of stakeholder engagement. The course materials were well-structured and easy to follow, although I would have liked to see more examples from the Middle East and North Africa region. Nevertheless, I gained a lot of valuable knowledge and insights, particularly in terms of flood management and risk assessment. The instructors were supportive, and the online discussions were engaging. Overall, I'm happy with the course and would recommend it to others, although I think it could benefit from more region-specific content.
