The American Red Cross and other
national organizations including the National Weather Service have published
a new resource guide on disaster safety entitle "Talking About Disaster:
Guide for Standard Messages."
This guide provides standardized safety messages for 13 natural hazards and
general disaster preparedness topics. The guide provides messages, explanations,
statistics, or reasons to reinforce the credibility of the message and correct
myths and information related to natural hazards. The project was undertaken
because research shows when the public receives consistent information, it will
prepare and respond when disaster threatens.
