When health, safety, or environmental risks take center stage, communicating risk information can be a daunting challenge. The increased visibility of global terrorism and other catastrophic emergencies underscores the potential for human tragedy-along with economic, social, and political consequences. Communication must be targeted, understandable, and effective without inadvertently provoking hostility and mistrust. For almost fifteen years, Risk Communication: A Handbook for Communicating Environmental, Safety, and Health Risks, has proven a valuable resource on areas such as current laws, stakeholder participation methods, and working with the news media. This significantly expanded third edition contains all new sections on communicating about bioterrorism and other emergencies, developing messages, and using facilitated deliberation and alternative dispute resolution methods. Sections on using technology in communication, choosing visuals, understanding stigma and privacy issues, and evaluating communication results are expanded to include the latest methods and research-driven examples. The third edition can be purchased here through IEEE/John Wiley. A fourth edition will be available soon. For more information on the book, check out Where It’s Used |
