Natural and environmental risk communication: A scoping review of campaign experiences, applications and tools

This paper discusses natural and environmental risk communication and presents the findings of a scoping review that set out to identify campaign experiences, concrete applications, and tools. The 125 papers reviewed were selected based on the principle of intentionality in the design and dissemination of communicative devices. The papers demonstrate the complexity of risk communication and the flexibility of the tools provided. The literature mainly discusses experiences addressing pre-risk phases, with the American context being the most extensively researched. Future research should concentrate on designing and analyzing tools suitable for diverse audiences and seen clearly to apply principles of participation and co-design.
