Communication and Catastrophic Events: Strategic Risk and Crisis Management is a timely and authoritative compendium of new research findings and case studies in the application of communication theory during extreme events. Featuring contributions from researchers and practitioners in the fields of crisis management and strategic communication, this authoritative resource explores the links between science issues and public policy as related to an evolving media landscape and a media-savvy society with multiple levels of science literacy. Fifteen in-depth chapters address the role and implications of communication in mass violence incidents, disease outbreaks, catastrophic mudslides, cascading and simultaneous disasters, extreme weather events, global health crises, and other natural and man-made crises. Throughout the text, the authors expose the difficult choices faced across communication disciplines, consider the ethical repercussions of communication during unfolding and unpredictable events, present original frameworks and models for balancing scientific findings with social and cultural issues, illustrate the ability of legacy and digital media to facilitate science in mitigating the effects of adverse events, and more. Communication and Catastrophic Events: Strategic Risk and Crisis Management is essential reading for scholars, researchers, practitioners, and advanced students in the fields of crisis communication, risk and emergency management, disaster studies, policy management, social media communication, and healthcare communication.
