Part I: Techniques to Identify Risks
Tools and techniques are needed to help us identify risks. Have you ever used any techniques? If so, share the technique and the results. Then, research some techniques and discuss two of your choice, specifically, what they are used for and when you would implement them. If you have not used any techniques yet, review a few from the resources, and discuss how you would use them.
Part II: Risk Communication
The media has grown over the years and continues to be a source of communication to the public. The media is not only communicating to the public, but are at times a part of the crisis. Does the media have a positive role to play in issues of risk communication? Justify your answer with reference to real-life examples of public risk issues.
