Communication is more than picking a communication channel (face-to-face communication, broadcast media, mobile channels, electronic communication and written communication), styles (visual/audio/kinesthetic/auditory digital), medium (physical, mechanical), and mode (interpersonal, interpretive, presentational). Communication begins with the message formulation (who, what, where, when), the encoding for the intended recipient (who & why), and the confirmation of message receipt and proper interpretation (the feedback loop).

Coppola & Maloney present various models based on communication science. Chapter one is helpful now. The balance of this book’s instruction will be helpful as you prepare your major deliverable, your Risk Communication campaign.

Pay particular attention to the complexity of factors that impact on human behavior. Think about an individual, group, or community that you have intimate knowledge about and see if you can identify the multiple factors that would reflect where to begin to develop a risk communication program. What message would cause a change in their behavior?
