== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Risk Communication''' β The "Exchange of Information" and "Advice" between "Experts" and "People" who face a "Threat" to their "Health," "Safety," or "Environment." * '''Hazard vs. Risk''' β **Hazard** is the "Thing that can hurt you" (e.g. 'A Shark'); **Risk** is the "Probability" it will happen (e.g. 'If you swim in the ocean'). * '''Heuristics''' (see Article 129) β The "Mental Shortcuts" our brain uses to "Judge Danger" (e.g., 'Availability Heuristic': if I saw it on the news, I think it is common). * '''The Precautionary Principle''' β The ethical rule that if a "New Technology" or "Act" has a "Risk of Severe Harm," we should "Wait and be Careful" even if we "Don't have 100% proof" yet. * '''Outrage Factors''' (Sandman) β The "Non-Scientific" things that make people "Angry" about a risk (e.g., 'Is it Fair?', 'Is it Voluntary?', 'Is it Natural?'). * '''Uncertainty''' β The "Gap in Knowledge": Risk communication must explain "What we know" and "What we are still learning." * '''Trust''' β The "Currency" of risk: if the public "Doesn't Trust the Source" (e.g. 'Big Pharma' or 'The Government'), they will "Reject the warning." * '''Crisis Communication''' β A specialized form of risk comms during an "Immediate Disaster" (e.g., 'A Nuclear Leak' or 'A Flood'). * '''Risk Perception''' β How "Regular People" "Feel" about a danger (often very different from the 'Math'). * '''Framing''' β The "Way" a risk is "Described" (e.g., '90% Survival rate' vs '10% Death rate'). </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
