The BBA in Disaster Management was developed over more than a decade after it became clear that the field of disaster relief management and disaster risk reduction, especially the relief/response/recovery aspect thereof needed to be standardised and professionalised. Desktop research indicated that there are approximately 400 000 jobs in the disaster relief management sector internationally. Stenden decided that the best vehicle to do so would be a Bachelor of Business Administration in Disaster Management (a 4 year honours equivalent degree).The degree comes at a time when the number of disasters is increasing worldwide and with climate change, this is a trend that scientists believe will escalate. Disasters affect the poor and at-risk populations of the developing world, more so than the first world.
