Abstract:

Abstract Individuals with complex communication needs are particularly vulnerable in disaster situations. This paper will describe a community outreach program developed to provide emergency preparedness training for children with complex communication needs. Goals are to acquaint participants with the challenges faced by individuals who used AAC in previous disasters, describe how community education has increased the capacity of stakeholders, and facilitate discussion regarding the application of training programs in additional communities.

Abstract:

Communication has been recognised as one of the most important requirements in communicating emergency and crisis situations to all stakeholders in schools. This is because crisis situations can cause social and emotional distress to stakeholders within the school at any time without warning, and in such situations, communication is needed to ensure those affected are informed on what is happening or what needs to happen. The aim of this paper was to examine the effect of communication practices on crisis preparedness in public secondary schools in Kapenguria Sub County, Kenya. The study was a

Though scholars have identified a myriad of student characteristics and skills necessary to prepare individuals for online education, one notable gap in the literature is a focus on preparedness for online communication and interaction. To address this gap, the purpose of the present study was to explore what elements of interaction students identified being most and least prepared for when communicating with their instructor and peers in an online class. Participants responded to four open-ended questions on their perceptions of communication preparedness in the online classroom. Responses we

Health crisis communication (HCC) is a challenging and urgent task of the emergency preparedness planning of any welfare state. In this paper, some particular reasons for that will be more specifically analyzed. The action flow of HCC includes the phases of preparedness, warning, response, recovery, and evaluation. For a successful HCC detailed guidelines are also needed, along with profound knowledge of how the crisis stakeholders should deal with the psychological needs of the citizens and the mass media, as well as with some specific technical items. The ultimate implication of HCC is that

Introduction:Despite advancements in health behavior theories, understanding the human motivation to engage in disaster preparedness remains elusive. Most attempts at engaging the public in protective behavior rely on risk communication that assumes an information deficit among the people; ergo, risk communicators operate under the assumption that by increasing awareness of risks, sufficient motivation can be generated for preparedness behavior. Yet, this is far from being true.A growing body of literature indicates the prevalence of fear-directed preparedness behavior, which is suboptimal in

What Chinese students learn about American culture and the English language in the classrooms of China does not adequately prepare them for the reality of American culture and communication in English. In this study, the constructs of American culture and models of English language taught in Chinese classrooms are compared with the reality of American culture and English communication, as experienced by eight undergraduate students from China. The students visited the United States for the first time to observe American culture and university classes in four cities with plans to return for gra

This study explores the relationship between factors influencing flood preparedness among business owners in Lagos Island, Nigeria, focusing on who prepares and how they mitigate disaster risks. Data was collected from 325 business owners in flood-prone areas, and Chi-Square hypothesis testing was used to analyze the significance of trust in flood alerts on preparedness. Findings reveal a significant relationship between trust in flood alerts and preparedness levels, with key factors such as flooding causes and duration of residence in floodplain areas influencing readiness.

ABSTRACTDisaster response requires rapid, complex action by multiple agencies that may rarely interact during nondisaster periods. Failures in communication and coordination between agencies have been pitfalls in the advancement of disaster preparedness. Recommendations of the Federal Emergency Management Agency address these needs and demonstrate commitment to successful disaster management, but they are challenging for communities to ensure. In this article we describe the application of Federal Emergency Management Agency guidelines to the 2008 and 2009 Chicago Marathon and discuss the deta

Abstract The importance of communities in disasters has been well established since Hurricane Katrina. Smit and Wandel’s bottom-up approach to assess risks during a disaster involves community stakeholders. Administrators of assisted living (AL) environments increasingly have to assess the risks of hurricane evacuation for vulnerable older adults. The current study examines intersections between social networks, communication and preparedness during a hurricane for AL administrators. We conducted focus groups and interviews with AL administrators (N=60) in Florida about communication patterns
