Abstract

Risk communication goes beyond a one-way transmission of information. It shall consider an interaction with citizens and even a participation in the preparation of emergency plans. In recent decades participatory approaches have indeed gained increasing recognition as a key characteristic of good governance. Involving the public in the decision-making process improves its quality and strengthens the credibility of its outcome.
