Overview

Evidence Syntheses to Support the WHO Guidelines on Emergency Risk Communication

The aim of this review is to support the development of guidelines in emergency risk communications (ERC) by reviewing the available literature related to each of the following questions posed by WHO (For more details on the SPICE breakdown for each question see Appendix A), note that the questions are not listed in sequential numbers because extracted from an original list of twelve questions:

Question 1: How can emergency risk communication best be integrated into national and international public health emergency preparedness planning and response activities?

Question 2: What are the best mechanism(s) to establish effective intra-agency, inter-agency, and/or cross-jurisdictional (such as cross-border; national with subnational jurisdictions, etc.) information sharing for emergency risk communication?

Question 6: What are the best practices and protocols to ensure coordination of risk communication activities between responding agencies across organizations and levels of response?

Question 8: What are the best practices and most appropriate tools for gathering, analyzing, and interpreting emergency risk communication data and feedback and integrating results into emergency risk communication planning, strategy development, execution and evaluation?
