Interns talk: ADPC's Young Professional platform on the topic "Strategic disaster risk communication in the digital age"

Disaster preparedness is not only about risk assessments, hazard maps, early warning systems, and emergency plans. It is also about how risk information is communicated, understood, trusted, and acted upon by communities.

This session will explore how strategic communication can translate technical disaster risk information into clear, timely, and accessible public messages that support preparedness action. It will also highlight the role of digital behavior, mobile communication, social media, and community trust in shaping how people respond to risk information.
