Abstract/Contents: | Describes how superintendents can "respond effectively to an accident or a crisis." Lists goals of risk communication, such as knowledge and understanding; trust and credibility; and cooperation, constructive dialogue, and informed decision-making. Stresses that "communication is key...effective risk communication is a key responsibility of any superintendent." Discusses how to balance perception and reality, and how for the public, "risk = hazard + outrage." Details how superintendents and other risk communicators should "(1) overcome the barriers that stress creates; (2) deliver accurate messages; and (3) achieve effective communication." Explains that "risk messages are typically judged not only by their content but by the trustworthiness of the source of information." Concludes that "a sound grasp of risk communication can go a long way towards helping you surmount the situation and emerge as its master." |
