By:

Mileti, Dennis

Material type: Text

TextPublication details: Boulder, Colarado : Natural Hazards Research and Applications Information Centre, 2004.Description: 12 p. ; 30 cmReview: Public Hazard education is communicating general information to the public independent of the occurance of any one specific hazardous event. Warnings communicate information about a specific disaster in the days, hours or minutes prior to impact. Although many of the principles known about how to effectively communicate hazard to the public apply to both educational and warning they are different. Public response to warnings is much more the result of the information that people have access to during the warning period than anything else, including pre-event public education. Prior public education can "prime" people for response in some future warning, for example, by educating people about the location of evacuation shelters -- BOOK COVER
