Purpose

The intent of the work is to go beyond the conventional model of disaster risk prevention, where community residents are objects of risk communication initiatives, and develop and implement a relational model of risk communication wherein they are active agents of knowledge transfer.

Design/methodology/approach

The relational model of risk communication translates risk knowledge into narrative forms that community members can share. The article discusses the conceptual basis of the model and, then, describes how it has been pilot tested and implemented in the field. Evaluation of the pilot tests consist of pre- and post-surveys comparing control and test groups.

Findings

Encouraging results have been seen among vulnerable communities, such as residents in a refugee camp and schoolchildren in a storm surge vulnerable town. These outcomes support the idea that the relational approach can empower residents to be active agents of risk communication.

Originality/value

The relational model taps into the knowledge and agency of community.

风险交流关系模型的设计与实现

目的

这项工作的目的是超越传统的灾害风险预防模型，其中社区居民是风险沟通倡议的对象，并开发和实施风险沟通的关系模型，其中他们是知识转移的积极代理人。

设计/方法/途径

风险沟通的关系模型将风险知识转化为社区成员可以共享的叙述形式。本文讨论了该模型的概念基础，然后描述了它是如何在现场进行试点测试和实施的。试点测试的评估包括比较控制组和测试组的前后调查。

发现

在脆弱社区中已经看到了令人鼓舞的结果，例如难民营的居民和风暴潮脆弱城镇的学童。这些结果支持这样一种观点，即关系方法可以使居民成为风险沟通的积极代理人。

原创性/价值

关系模型利用社区的知识和代理。
