 The transition from traditional top-down risk communication models to more participatory models has been driven by the need to better understand and address the needs of vulnerable populations. These models emphasize the importance of engaging with communities and providing them with the knowledge and skills necessary to prepare for and respond to natural hazards. This includes using a variety of methods such as face-to-face interactions, hands-on activities, and serious games to reach out to different audiences. Social media has become an important tool for reaching out to different audiences and targeting specific social groups. Additionally, researchers should continue to develop and test-risk communication theories and methodologies, especially those that incorporate the use of information technologies and social media.
