Communicating During Global Emergencies
This Communicating During Global Emergencies course presents essential concepts and principles of communicating during a worldwide crisis or emergency, in conjunction with the Rollins School of Public Health and the CDC's Division of Global Health Protection, Emergency Response, and Recovery Branch. It investigates why communication differs during an emergency and the relevance of tailoring emergency messaging to the requirements of those affected. You'll be able to evaluate information needs and design relevant messages using six guiding principles to help you communicate effectively and promote habits that lower health risks during an emergency by working through sample scenarios.
They'll spend the first week learning about CERC's structure, the core function of risk communications, and common standards to follow when engaging with affected populations during a crisis. The focus of communication during an emergency response, as well as the formulation and implementation of a crisis communication plan, will be discussed in the second week. They'll use a fictional situation to investigate the four components of risk communication outlined in the International Health Regulations during the final week.
