EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION AND PSYCHOLOGY

Description

Clear communication strategies and effective psychological approaches are significant aspects to improve the quality of the prevention and the management of CBRNE events. Reducing the effects and consequences on the population as well as operators in the field. By definition first responders are normally the first to arrive on the scene, and are therefore in direct contact with the victims of a CBRNE event as well as with the components of other teams on the hotspot. A sound knowledge of the issues affecting the psychology of those involved and communication at strategic, operational and tactical level is a key aspect of an effective response. Mastering emergency communication is essential to avoid the spread of incorrect or inappropriate information that may cause, panic or lead the population to underestimate the gravity of the situation. Thus, Raising Awareness in the population is another fundamental aspect on which emergency communication and psychology are focused.

This session is aimed at bringing together researchers and experts in the following fields:

  • Emergency Communication and Information
  • Emergency Psychology
  • First Response in Case of CBRNE Events
  • Raising Awareness
