Despite the weather agency’s accurate storm surge prediction, thousands lost their lives.In response, a team from New York University set out to improve communication practices linking national agencies to local governments and the public. The goal of the project was to identify improved strategies for crafting and communicating risk messages, to develop this into new practices, and to ensure that communities are able to respond quickly to vital risk communicationto better protect lives and livelihoods.
