🔎 How best to map challenges for implementing effective communication in early warning systems for climate change-related crises and disasters, than being out there, discussing and sharing with our action's stakeholders? 🔦 Please to announce that we are steadily advancing towards building up a solid start for the work we committed to over the next 4 years :).
Today, I am proud to represent the COST Action AlertHub team, presenting at the 2nd Congress on Pandemic and Disaster Preparedness organized by the Pandemic and Disaster Preparedness Center (PDPC) in Rotterdam. In the AlertHub project (2024-2028), communication scientists and practitioners across Europe joined forces to provide solutions for improving early warning systems for climate change-related crises and disasters. I will be leading the Work Group 2: Mapping Challenges of Implementing Effective Communication. It’s a great pleasure working with colleagues and friends on this timely project coordinated by Florian Meißner and Corina Buzoianu, including Daniel Vogler, Pavel Rodin, Ph.D., Bengt Johansson, An-Sofie Claeys, Andreas Schwarz, Heini Ruohonen and so many others. Also at the event, I had an interesting talk with Toshiyuki Watanabe, a risk communication strategist, about why many people in Japan felt early warnings too complex to follow and how possible changes could be made. It’s a day well-spent! #crisiscommunication #riskcommunication #crisispreparedness #crisisreadiness #climatechange #EUprojects
