This project aims to understand how multi-hazard public information and warning platforms contribute to public safety within a broader risk communication framework, seeking to explore future communication innovations and capabilities. The research will focus on usability, comprehension, and accessibility for all communities – including those from all generations, culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, people with disability and those from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Knowledge sharing forum
What really works when it comes to warning communities about disasters—and what doesn’t?
Join the research team for a two-hour global knowledge-sharing session exploring how multi-hazard public information and warnings platforms operate in practice. This forum will bring together experts to share case studies, examine community perceptions and usage, and unpack what’s working well, what isn’t, and where we go from here.
You'll hear firsthand insights into how different countries approach multi-hazard warnings, the real-world barriers and facilitators to implementation, and how these systems align with the global Early Warnings for All initiative (EW4All).
This session sets the stage for a comprehensive report due in December, which will consolidate academic and grey literature findings on how communities and agencies engage with these platforms. And we want your input if you have relevant research or reports to share!
Whether you're a practitioner, policymaker, researcher, or simply curious about disaster communication, this forum is your chance to connect, learn, and contribute.
Let’s build smarter, more effective early warning systems—together.
Speaker list coming soon!
