Risk plays an important role in our daily lives. Especially in
Europe risks through natural hazards are an everlasting issue. Indeed we
have learned to live with those threats, but prognosis of the
International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) say, that climate change
will cause and we have to count with a striking increase of extreme
events.
Effective interdisciplinary communication of the authorities,
the economy, the science and the rescue organisations about anticipated
future risks will play an enormous important role. The relevant
disciplines knowledge of future risks must be communicated to the public
in an appropriate and comprehensible language. Communication tools will
be necessary, to achieve behavioural changes of the people participating
at the process. The sensitisation of all to new threats, the involvement
of the economy and the trust into authorities and rescue organisations
is of major importance. |
