  Information - IS36 - NH9.1/ES4 Natural Hazards Education and Communications to Students, Government Officials and to the Public (co-organized by NH & ES)

Event Information
This session addresses how we communicate and educate students, the public, and government agencies about natural hazards. Although we welcome all contributions in this topic, we are particularly interested in: (i) The communication (by scientists, engineers, the press, a multitude of agencies, and others) of natural hazards risk and uncertainty to the general public and government officials; (ii) The teaching of natural hazards to university and lower-level students, using innovative techniques to promote understanding. We therefore solicit abstracts, particularly dynamic posters, on all aspects of how we communicate and educate the better understanding of natural hazards. The ability to have graphic screens at poster sessions is available (if pre-ordered through EGU), as is a location to put hands-on demonstrations or other material. We foresee both a very lively oral session AND poster session. If there is enough interest, we will also reserve a splinter room for general discussion.
