An examination of pre-disaster awareness communication, this volume delineates the best ways to communicate disaster risk factors, response plans, and emergency procedures to the public without fomenting panic.

They include specific instruction on how those charged with developing these programs can obtain funding from donors, foundations, and government grants. The book includes case studies that identify various public awareness campaigns that have been successfully conducted in different communities.
