Strategies for Disaster Risk Reduction can be enhanced through effective risk communicative processes and practices and is widely regarded as a core to disaster management (Howard et al., 2017). Disaster and risk communication have been found to be a significant strategy, but careful attention must be given to its processes and systems to help improve the disaster-related outcomes. Specifically, the need to address the context of audience vulnerabilities, perception, experiences, and practices on disaster-related communication.
Samaddar et al. (2015) cited that Pearce (2003) argued that the growing literature on disaster-related communication has revealed that risk communication can be an effective tool to address the growing consensus among researchers and planners to incorporate local communities in disaster risk management and climate change adaptation planning. However, its actualization largely remains a dream.
