Session 2.3 GNGTS 2024 GNGTS 2024 DISASTER RISK ANALYSIS AND REDUCTION Session 2.3 Risk Communication Convenors of the session:
 Serena Tagliacozzo (IRPPS, CNR) – serena.tagliacozzo@irpps.cnr.it
 Valentina Rizzoli (CORIS, Sapienza University of Rome) – valentina.rizzoli@uniroma1.it Interventions can address – but are not limited to – the following areas and topics: ○ Information and communication technologies for risk and crisis communication (e.g., social media, citizen sensors) ○ Relationship between risk perception and communication ○ Risk communication and behavioural change ○ Multi-hazard risk communication ○ Risk communication for disaster prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery ○ Targeted risk communication (i.e., involving diverse groups such as vulnerable populations, young people, and gender-sensitive communication) ○ Risk education ○ Ethics in risk communication. Risk and crisis communication is an essential component for disaster risk prevention and management and, to be effective, it requires multidisciplinary and multi-actors efforts. Risk communication should therefore be implemented in all the phases of the disaster cycle (e.g. prevention, preparedness, response and recovery). This session welcomes contributions from researchers and practitioners working on different research streams and hazards from a multi-hazard risk perspective. Relevant topics include -but are not limited to – opportunities offered by information and communication technologies for tailoring the message to the specific needs of diverse groups and sub-populations; social media and social construction of risk; the role of risk education in communication; drivers of risk perception and behavioural change.
