Communicate Risks. Inspire Action
The job of discussing potential natural hazard risks and solutions—and motivating people to take action—is definitely not a “one size fits all” challenge.
In this course, participants will learn how to
•Respond to difficult questions with more confidence using social science and risk communication principles;
•Develop an effective risk communication strategy that incorporates these principles;
•Recognize differing values within their audience;
•Identify why people perceive and respond to risk the way they do; and
•Practice these new skills.
June 27: Building Risk Communication Skills course: Taught by NOAA instructors this course will provide participants a better understanding of how people respond to risk and will develop new communication skills for discussing hazards in their community.
June 28: (Invitation Only): A deeper dive into developing risk communication strategies and common messages. Participants will work one-on-one with NOAA facilitators.
