Book excerpt: "A public meeting with angry residents and eager reporters is a common feature on the local news. Whether addressing environmental, or other issues, the experience for the board members, consultants, and specialists at these meetings ranges from uncomfortable to nightmarish. The issues discussed in these meetings usually stem from years of community disappointment, mistrust, fears, factions, political or social positioning, or all of the above. Industry faces a labyrinth of environmental and business regulations, and unique challenges in dealing with the public and the media. Environmental Risk Communication serves as a guide to understanding and complying with the Federal Risk Management Program and applying risk management and communication principles to daily plant operations. This book also helps Risk Management Plan (RMP) facilities successfully meet the new Federal requirements for public disclosure of RMP offsite consequence analysis results and provides techniques for communicating effectively during environmental emergencies.Written in a straight-forward, no-nonsense style the book presents concise informative chapters, flow diagrams, checklists, and a thorough index. The authors present step-by-step instruction on developing a principled plan of action that generates open communications. CEOs, Corporate Communications Specialists, Plant Managers, Environmental Compliance Supervisors, Health and Safety Officers, Environmental Scientists and Engineers, and Consultants will benefit from Environmental Risk Communication.Features"--Provided by publisher.

Book excerpt: In chapter two, I test the effectiveness of using general versus specific message frames in communicating the risks associated with radon gas. Contrary to risk communication conventional wisdom, I demonstrate that a general message frame, with more global data, encouraged a greater amount of mitigation behavior than a specific frame with localized data for those individuals who lived in high risk areas. Finally, in chapter three, in order to clarify the theoretical underpinnings of the construct of psychological distance, I conducted two studies designed to test its relationship with personal relevance. While inversely correlated, the two constructs are indeed separate and there is no evidence that they are conflated by current accepted measures of psychological distance. My findings also support the validity of previously used items measuring the subjective psychological distance of climate change , and show their usefulness in predicting concern regarding the health effects associated with climate change. I conclude the dissertation in chapter four by discussing the implications of this work for risk communication practitioners and offering specific suggestions on how to improve risk messages based on the research presented here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the greatest challenges facing those concerned with health and environmental risks is how to carry on a useful public dialogue on these subjects. In a democracy, it is the public that ultimately makes the key decisions on how these risks will be controlled. The stakes are too high for us not to do our very best. The importance of this subject is what led the Task Force on Environmental Cancer and Heart and Lung Disease to establish an Interagency Group on Public Education and Communication. This volume captures the essence of the "Workshop on the Role of Government in Health Risk Communication and Public Education" held in January 1987. It also includes some valuable appendixes with practical guides to risk communication. As such, it is an important building block in the effort to improve our collective ability to carry on this critical public dialogue. Lee M. Thomas Administrator, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, and Chairman, The Task Force on Environmental Cancer and Heart and Lung Disease Preface The Task Force on Environmental Cancer and Heart and Lung Disease is an interagency group established by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 (P.L. 95-95). Congress mandated the Task Force to recommend research to determine the relationship between environmental pollutants and human disease and to recommend research aimed at reduc ing the incidence of environment-related disease. The Task Force's Project Group on Public Education and Communication focuses on education as a means of reducing or preventing disease.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent events of environmental disasters on the Balkans provoked many implications on the performance of alert and response systems in environmental and other crises' management. The paper discusses the importance of risk communications at all the stages as being the main factor in prevention, mitigation and recovery's effectiveness. Considering the most prominent environmental risks in the region the study determines the most important characteristics of environmental risk communications and gives specific recommendations for stakeholders in environmental threats and risk handling.The paper examines the importance of risk communication in risk management for enhancing the level of environmental security and the specific role of local communities behavioral and communication models and characteristics of local civil societies' development. Considering the importance of information for taking correct, timely and realistic decisions for wellbeing of societies concerning environmental security, the study puts the accent on implementing equality principles in citizenship and societal challenges and the role of non-governmental organizations. As the local environment shapes communities' perceptions of environmental risks they should be embraced in models of removing considerable barriers to accessing, understanding and utilizing sources of information about environmental risks.Some proposals are made in connection to enhancing environmental security knowledge examining the process of delivery and processing of risk information in risk management and involvement of community based society organizations, and contributing to the achievement an adequate level of environmental security, as well as overall resilience and environmental risk reduction as part of the human security concept, in regional and international scope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk communication is crucial to building community resilience and reducing risk from extreme events. True community resilience involves accurate and timely dissemination of risk information to stakeholders. This book examines the policy and science of risk communication in the digital era. Themes include public awareness of risk and public participation in risk communication and resilience building. The first half of the book focuses on conceptual frameworks, components, and the role of citizens in risk communication. The second half examines the role of risk communication in resilience building and provides an overview of some of its challenges in the era of social media. This book looks at the effectiveness of risk communication in socially and culturally diverse communities in the developed and developing world. The interdisciplinary approach bridges academic research and applied policy action. Contributions from Latin America and Asia provide insight into global risk communication at a time when digital technologies have rapidly transformed conventional communication approaches. This book will be of critical interest to policy makers, academicians, and researchers, and will be a valuable reference source for university courses that focus on emergency management, risk communication, and resilience.
