Risk Communications

We have extensive experience in developing public education materials for emergency management including question and answers, brochures, and multi-media presentations. Our approach is based on social science research on learningand cognitive functioning and applied research on human response to disaster and emergency information. We have conducted considerable research on such topics. A guide to preparing emergency warning messages has been developed. A source book on risk communication for emergency managers and a guide on preparing emergency warning messages were recently published. We currently are producing an interactive CD-ROM on public education and information programs in emergency management.
