Although this six-hour seminar was entitled “Three Paradigms of Radiological Risk Communication,” NPHIC asked me to go easy on the “radiological” part and give participants a broad introduction to my approach to risk communication, mentioning radiation issues from time to time. So that’s what I did.
Part One is a 90-minute introduction to the hazard-versus-outrage distinction and the three paradigms of risk communication.
Part Two runs 155 minutes. It discusses the seesaw and other risk communication games (thus completing the introductory segment), then spends a little over an hour each on some key strategies of precaution advocacy and outrage management.
Paradigm 2-2 – Precaution Advocacy (continued) (34.4 MB, 36 min 42 sec)
Paradigm 2-3 – Outrage Management (42.2 MB, 46 min)
Paradigm 2-4 – Outrage Management (continued) (23.3 MB, 24 min 54 sec)
Part Three is a 72-minute rundown on some key crisis communication strategies.
Paradigm 3-1 – Crisis Communication (34.5 MB, 37 min 50 sec)
Paradigm 3-2 – Crisis Communication (continued) (32.3 MB, 34 min 28 sec)
Questions and comments from the audience are interspersed throughout, and are sometimes inaudible.
