This edited volume emphasizes risk and crisis communication
principles and practices within the up-to the minute context of new
technologies, a new focus on resiliency, and global environmental
change. It includes contributions from experts from around the
globe whose research, advocacy, teaching, work, or service in the
natural or social sciences deals with risk communication and/or
management surrounding natural and technological disasters, with a
particular focus on climate change-related phenomena. Resilience
and good communication are intimately linked and with climate
change precipitating more numerous and onerous weather-related
catastrophes, a conversation on resilience is timely and necessary.
The goal is robust communities that are able to withstand the shock
of disaster. Communicating well under ordinary circumstances is
challenging; communicating during a crisis is extraordinarily
difficult. This book is dedicated to all those who have directly or
indirectly suffered the effects of climate change end extreme
events with the hope that the advance of knowledge, implementation
of sound science and appropriate policies and use of effective
communication will help in reducing their vulnerability while also
improving resilience in the face of often devastating natural and
technological disasters.
