About the event
The course consists of lectures on the theoretical basics of storm damage assessment and strategic approaches, as well as of practical exercises. The practical exercises will be done based on photo material from archived cases. In the unlikely case of a fresh damage site within the reach of a daytrip, practical exercises may also be performed outdoors in the field.

Be prepared to apply strategies to assess the most important features in case of a very large (tornado) event.
Know how to use the ESSL storm damage assessment app (practical) and how to perform a drone survey (theoretical).
Be prepared to deal with human (social, psychological) aspects of a demanding and maybe even fatal case.
