Illustrative: an outbreak travelling along air routes, arrival times by shortest path, then local epidemics
Risk Academy, led by the Nexus Consortium · Hazards, Disasters and Resilience
The Sendai Framework names biological hazards beside natural and technological ones, and the Bangkok Principles of 2016 turned that into practice.
Map biological and epidemic hazards in disaster risk management on a real place

The subtopics its courses and labs teach.
For disaster managers, public health emergency officers and planners who must assess epidemics alongside natural hazards and keep health services running when the two coincide.
Each method is listed with what it assumes and where it fails.
Bodies and standards are named so learners can find and apply their published work; the Academy teaches their use and links to the publisher, and no affiliation is implied.
Biological and epidemic hazards in disaster risk management's own model runs in the scene at the top of this page: set its parameters there and play the steps. The separate chart simulator is left off this page so that it stays within its size budget.
Search any place or open the world; the layers and generators follow biological and epidemic hazards in disaster risk management on the planet map, the globe and in 3D.
