● 3 hours: Emergency Communication Activity – see below
Instructions: Students should explore the CDC’s Crisis Emergency Risk Corner (CERC), available at https://emergency.cdc.gov/cerc/cerccorner/index.asp. Students will submit a 2-page-paper (approximately 500 words) that discusses the following:
How day to day communication differs from communication during an emergency incident
Strategies for communicating effectively in an emergency situation
The most appropriate form of communication for the bus/train crash situation (including rationale)
How social media and other communications technologies can be used to communicate with members of the community
Utilizing the principles of risk communication, students should propose an emergency communication message explaining the bus/train crash to the general public; students should identify the type(s) of media appropriate for dissemination of this message.
