What is Risk Communication?

Risk Communication (RC) is a "science-based approach for communicating effectively in high-concern, low-trust, high-stress, emotionally-charged and/or controversial situations." [Covello]  Effective RC explains, researches, teaches, and assists in the methodology and practice of human health risk dialogue between the exposed (potential, perceived, or actual) individual or community and the industry/agency/organization responsible for the exposure and/or for assessing and/or ameliorating it.
