About
The aim of this ROADMAP2 webinar is to provide a forum for exchange on what are the defining characteristics of good communication practices in civil protection, and sharing concrete recent examples of such practices. This ROADMAP2 project webinar is aligned with the project’s forthcoming flash report on good communication practices in civil protection. We are particularly interested in practices that improve the accessibility and understandability of risk and crisis information to individuals with various needs and preferences, mitigate the harm caused by people’s exposure to false and harmful information, and help to overcome the barriers to reacting adequately to risk or crisis information, such as distrust towards official sources of information. These practices may include, for instance, effective warnings or instructions given during disasters, risk awareness campaigns that improve people’s preparedness, and novel communication tools or procedures adopted in disaster risk management.
