Disaster scenarios provide insights into how hazards may impact communities while highlighting opportunities to enhance preparation and resilience. This information does not always reach those most at risk, however. The Diversifying HayWired Communication project brought together members of the Bill Anderson Fund, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the Natural Hazards Center to develop innovative approaches to connect with marginalized communities that would likely experience disproportionate impacts from a large earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area. This session will focus on lessons learned regarding the use of inclusive engagement strategies to communicate hazard risks and support disaster planning.
