Recognizing that risk is a central feature of our daily lives, found in relationships, organizations, governments, the environment, and a wide variety of interactions, contributors to this volume explore such questions as: \"What is likely to happen, to whom, and with what consequences?\"; \"To what extent can science and vigilance prevent or mitigate negative outcomes?\"; and \"What obligation do some segments of local, national, and global populations have to help other segments manage risks?\", shedding light on the issues in the quest for definitive answers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eHandbook\u003c\/em\u003e offers a broad approach to the study of risk and crisis as joint concerns. Chapters explore the reach of crisis and risk communication, define and examine key constructs, and parse the contexts of these vital areas. As a whole, the volume presents a comprehensive array of studies that highlight the standard principles and theories on both topics, serving as the largest effort to date focused on engaging risk communication discussions in a comprehensive manner. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith perspectives from psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science, economics, and communication, the \u003cem\u003eHandbook of Risk and Crisis Communication\u003c\/em\u003e enlarges the approach to defining and recognizing risk and how should it best be managed.
