This grant is for developing robust risk communication strategies to counter the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) threat within the Community Preparedness and Resilience program. The Department of Homeland Security’s solicitation seeks proposals to analyze optimal methods for local government officials, senior First Responders, and civic leaders to frame effective hazard and public service warnings during IED terrorist attacks. The primary objective is to produce empirically-based, peer-reviewed guidelines. These guidelines will equip community leaders with the necessary tools to issue clear, impactful warnings, thereby enhancing public safety and resilience. This research aims to standardize best practices for public communication in critical incident management, ensuring communities are well-informed and prepared.
