The Language of Disasters

Monday, July 15, 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. MDT
Location: Centennial E

When we communicate about disasters, the language we use matters. More than just semantics, the words can convey a range of overt and contextual meanings. Some will build trust and understanding, while others will erode it. Speakers in this session will discuss how to use language that recognizes identity, communicates meaning, and speaks to your audience rather than your peers.
