Crisis Communication from a Citizen Perspective –
Urban Risks and Crises

 

For the ECREA Crisis 7 we encourage participants to suggest papers and panel proposals that address the citizen perspectives of crisis communication in urban settings, but of course even contributions addressing other themes are welcome too. We encourage new approaches to theory, methodology, education and training, practice, as well as the intersection of technology in the context of risk and crisis. We invite both researchers and practitioners and are looking for cross-disciplinary approaches from communication, journalism, business, marketing, health, law politics, policing, cross-cultural research, education, and training.
 

 

Thematics:

Societal unrest – with focus on socio-political events and issues that create believes or feelings of dissatisfaction with government policies within specific groups or the whole population, for example related to organised crime, issues of inequality, racism, hooliganism, or serious public health emergencies.

Natural disasters – with focus on natural hazards that cause significant human, material, or symbolic damage, for example, earthquakes, floodings and hurricanes.

Major accidents - with focus on major emergencies that seriously affect a society, for example major traffic accidents or train derailments, a plane crash, gas leaks or chemical spills.
