6th Disaster Risk Communication in the New Normal Course (course fee required)
- English
Background and Rationale:
Disaster risk information is critical for building disaster resilience in all phases of the Disaster Risk Management (DRM) cycle. It is equally as important for risk information to be communicated and understood for effective and risk-informed decision-making. Disaster risk communication aims to raise public awareness on hazards and possible disasters in communities to encourage preparedness and resilience.
The key challenges of risk communication are changing risks or future risks due to temporal and spatial changes in hazard, exposure, and vulnerability, and climate change impacts; a lack of good governance, limited efforts to redefine disaster risk communication beyond warning generation; inadequate emphasis on disaster risk communication at different levels of planning and agreements, etc. Another recent challenge is that most countries have experienced a new wave of ‘fake news’ and misinformation during COVID-19. The course will provide important inputs and insights to address these challenges.
