Peter Sandman, an expert in risk communication explains why risk truly has two elements- hazard and outrage- and why understanding them both is crucial to crisis communication as well as pandermic journalism.

'Like all professionals, journalists are profoundly ambivalent about their own norms. Any time anybody stands up in front of a roomful of journalists and says, “You ought to care. You ought to make people realize how serious obesity is!” reporters…

I find the following piece of insight from Harvard's guide to crises communication to be very true.

"The relationship between information and emotion is that strong emotion provokes biased information seeking. The stronger your emotions, the more you will learn; but it’s not neutral learning. You’re learning in…

A network of Humanitarian workers, helping coordinate diffrent groups efforts to maxiumize effectivness of their effort, they could also inform the public of areas to avoid, places where water and food can be handed out, etc.

Managing Panic in a Pandemic, is in my opinion the most important of the five.

When people become scared, the become very irrational, making them a threat to themselves and others.

The article mentions that during a time of crisis, the current practice is to instruct people to react, while attempting to remove fear or panic from their minds and actions. In doing this, the media and experts tend to lead people into "denial," which is described as worse than the act of panicking.

I think the work that Ember did is of great significance. An emergency call to action for a non-medical community that I would use, would be to get together a group of hygienists and nutritionist to give advice on simple methods of how to obstain from contracting the epidemic and what food and liquids should be consumed to built up your immune system making you less susceptible to the pandemic. I would use Embers idea of the net as a medium of communication to people across the globe. There…

If a pandemic flu had just reached the area that I lived at and i had to organize a group of people that would help me do something to help i would probably choose Janelle9My best friend), my parents, my brother and sister and my cousin. I would choose them because I know that they support me for whatever I put myself to and they are trustworthy that they will help me solve the problem as well also help me with whatever I need. The task that I would put them to would be to haave them help me…
