Community Trust and Responses to Multi-Agency Warnings Findings from Phase One of Research Package 1: Encouraging Protective Action and Enhancing Trust with Multi-Agency Risk and Warning Communication Strategies

“Based on the research conducted, the Bureau will likely explore greater flexibility in communication style, options for working with media and other agencies to incorporate visual footage (particularly television), and the possibility of interactions between multiagency and media messages. The Bureau is appreciative of the opportunity to work closely with QUT researchers in better understanding community responsiveness to our warnings communications and to provide guidance for enhancing our services to the community.” – Bureau of Meteorology
