This grant, offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), aims to advance effective risk communication strategies. The purpose is to develop better ways to convey critical information during and after decontamination and clearance activities. This specifically addresses intentional biological contamination events impacting wide indoor and outdoor areas.
