Task 4: Compendium of Risk Communications
Published Jul 8, 2008
To assist planning and response efforts for vulnerable populations, the authors created a compendium that inventories communication, outreach, and education materials related to emergency preparedness, response, and recovery for those populations. The purposes of the compendium are to provide a list of resources to public health emergency planners and those working to deliver risk communications to vulnerable populations; to identify promising risk-communication strategies; and to identify gaps and commonalities in the available resources.
