Shifting Perspectives in Inclusive Risk Communication

Tuesday, July 11, 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. MDT
Location: Centennial E

Clear communication is critical at every stage of disaster, but messaging must be tailored to the audience it is intended to reach. Yet still too often, risk information is written from the perspective of those managing disasters and therefore can be highly technical and confusing to end users. These challenges are often amplified when messages are meant to reach large and diverse populations. Panelists in this session will recommend strategies to make communication more inclusive, easy to understand, and accessible for all people.
