"The Science of Communications" - A Workshop for Risk & Crisis Communicators
Presented by the National Association of Government Communicators (NAGC) and the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS)

Reagan International Conference Center

Download registration form and details
Registration fee: $249; $199 for NAGC members
What actually happens in someone's mind when they have to evacuate a burning building, are told to shelter in place while authorities check out a suspicious package, or hear rumors of a danger chemical or biological agent release? What triggers the "fight or flight" response? Who do they listen to in an emergency situation? How do they react in a true crisis? The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has partially funded studies at universities, laboratories and industry to examine how people react to worrisome messages and news and in crisis situations. NAGC and DHS will hold a full-day workshop to focus on the science behind people's reactions and how communicators can evaluate the effectiveness of what they say and how they say it in crisis situations, and how to reach people who may be in panic mode.
