COMMUNICATING ABOUT HEATWAVES: RESEARCH AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE
The School of Public Health at The University of Adelaide is pleased
to invite you to our Natural Disaster Resilience Program (NDRP) study
workshop on public heatwave communication.
To date, no Australian research has investigated how the public
receives and makes sense of heatwave messaging. This workshop
represents a unique opportunity to engage with this research and join
others in constructive discussion on South Australia’s heatwave
communication strategy.
The workshop will explore and initiate discussion on important
communication questions, leading to the enhancement of heatwave
communication practice.
* How is current heatwave messaging from government agencies being
received and made sense of by the public?
* What are the risk perception and communication barriers impeding
public resilience to heatwaves?
* What can be done to overcome communication barriers such as
‘message fatigue’?
* What role does the media play in constructing public
understandings of heatwave risk?
* What can ‘social marketing’ interventions do to promote
protective behaviours in heatwaves?
* How can messages be designed to ‘cut through’ the media noise
to reach different demographic groups?
DETAILS:
* WHERE: The University of ADELAIDE, ADELAIDE Health and Medical
Sciences Building. G033 (ground floor) Joe Verco Lecture Theatre 2.
