Risk and crisis communication during health disasters
Description
Communication plays an essential role in health disasters. Health disaster communication can be a contested space of many voices. Influenced by media, politicians, corporations, and faith-based groups. The way health organisations communicate prior to, during, and following health disasters is critical to public safety.
This chapter identifies concepts that guide good practice in risk and crisis communication. It identifies the value of trust as the foundation for effective communication. It also explores the importance of the relationships with and between stakeholders and the role of response agencies, community, and the media in the design and application of communication strategies.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
