ORGANIZATION OF SAFETY CULTURE FORMATION AND DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS IN THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM

Abstract

Universities are of strategic importance in National Defense and Disaster Risk Management (DRM). The formation of a system for coping with the Risk of Disasters is important to increase the confrontation of the Country from the Disasters. Disaster Risk Management is the development of “Distress Risk Management Plans”, as a tool for the formation and distribution of Safety Culture. These strategies can significantly aid in hazard prevention, consequence mitigation, and situational management. The study of Disaster Risk Management processes in the article is based on the DRM plan of the Armenian State University of Economics. The plan presents the university's DRM priorities, emphasizes the main hazards, the most vulnerable elements, material and non-material capacities of the University. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the Disaster Risks in the University and to select the recommended measures resulting from this. The process of effective planning and implementation of DRM is an important part of the university management system.
