Artikelbeschreibung
The primary objective of this book is to connect
temporary theory and practical experience in the
young field of Disaster Risk Communication (DRC).
In addition, the author seeks to:
differentiate how DRC works on different levels of
communication, including the household and community
level,
draw conclusions on the usage of media channels in
DRC,
promote good practices and lessons learnt,
through the extensive case study of the
earthquake in South Asia in 2005.
This book is motivated by questions arising during
practical field work in Tajikistan and Pakistan. The
experience from the projects shows that risk
communication is something that needs to be embedded
stronger into the programmes managed by
governments and the international
community.
