The previous discussion shows that although there exists a substantial literature on disaster and its related concepts, no related study or literature has been found specifically on risk communication management. Hence, this study would integrate risk communication and disaster management focusing on a localized urban flooding incident and how it can contribute to the development of a community-based flood risk communication framework utilizing the data collected from the flood-prone communities.
Risk communication management in the context of this study include elements such as policies or legal basis of the agencies task/function, the communication protocols or procedures, and flow of communication and messages; the inter-governmental management reflecting the dynamic interconnections between and among the agencies involved as well as their specific role in the communication process and organizational linkages; and the communication processes on the efforts and strategies used for risk communication. Risk communication management at the community level would ensure that specific needs, expectations and levels of access to disaster related information are integrated into the risk communication approaches. Thus, empowering the communities to build resilience and capacities to respond appropriately to flooding incidences.
