Building Risk Communications Skills:
Communicate Risks. Inspire Action.
February 21, 2018, 8:00am to 4:30pm
NOAA Disaster Response Center, Mobile AL
The job of discussing potential coastal 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.
Floodplain/CRS managers, county/municipal staff, planners, emergency managers, community outreach specialists and others working to improve coastal resiliency will benefit from the knowledge and skills gained at this workshop. There is no fee for this training. Lunch is provided. Register online by February 7, 2018 at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/building-riskcommunication-skills-tickets-42058145044.
