Risk communication and warning systems.
Material type:
TextLanguage: ENG Series: Article (University of Delaware. Disaster Research Center) ; 261Publication details: 1993Description: 27 pSubject: Focuses on how warnings can be effectively disseminated when the threat is from a relatively rapid onset hazard agent, whether natural (e.g., severe storms, earthquakes, riverine floods, volcanic eruptions) or technological (e.g., chemical emergencies or accidental radiological emissions) in nature. Limited to situations in which a short-term forecast of danger is necessary (e.g., earthquake forewarnings for a decade or more in the future) or when risks are developing slowly over time ( e.g., global climate change or environmental pollution) because empirical research has demonstrated that risk communication processes are qualitatively quite different for these two types of events
