summaryThe effective communication of risk and uncertainty is key to successful disaster risk reduction.

Drawing on examples from hazards such as earthquakes, infectious diseases and CBRN, this talk will discuss why the communication of risk is so tricky, and present some rules of thumb for communicating risk and uncertainty in a way that facilitates informed decision making.
