“…There have, however, been various models and rationales of 'good' risk communication in the literature. Some standpoints imply that risk communication is a one-way process of information transfer from experts to lay public and policy-makers (Demeritt & Nobert, 2014), whereas others view risk communication as a two-way dialogue that facilitates citizen participation (Ejem et al, 2023;Demeritt & Nobert, 2014). This rationale will enable facilitators to feedback on the insights from the communities and citizens to the government and relevant agencies , and help to ultimately redefine risk communication.…”

The study examined if the flood risk messages in broadcast media in select states in Southeast and South-south Nigeria effectively amplified risk perception that influenced community response during the 2022 flood in Southern Nigeria. Consistent with the assumptions of the social amplification and attenuation of risk framework, this study looked at the frequency of the flood risk communications, gauged whether the flood risk messages were considered credible and trusted by the communities, and ascertained the extent to which the messages increased public worries and provoked a sense of threat and response to the flood hazards. The data were gathered from 380 flood victims in 4 communities in Anambra (Southeast) and Delta (South-south) States using a descriptive survey method. The study found that the broadcast media information and warnings were credible and increased public concerns but the amplification of flood risk perception in the broadcast media were not effectual as the risk communication did not start in time and the impact of the messages was moderated by institutional, social, economic and psychological variables that affected how the communities perceived, managed and responded to the flood risk messages. The study recommended that the flood risk messages should be timely, emphasise the severity of the threat of an impending flood, and sufficiently dramatize the message and the threat..

“…In order to make any training meaningful and effective, it is imperative on the part of the training organizers to identify the training needs of the farmers based on which suitable training modules can be developed so that the appropriate training is given to the right people, in the right form, at the right time so that higher degree of productivity and profitability can be achieved" [4]. "Therefore, training of the farmers is 'an intensive learning activity, assisted by competent trainers to understand and practice the skills required in a deficit situation in the knowledge, skills and attitude level of the practicing farmers as well as the availability of appropriate applicable information, the utilization of which will correct the problems" [5]. "Apple farming is the fastest growing economic activity of the state and is being grown in 9 districts out of 12 districts.…”

The goal of the current study was to determine the obstacles and recommendations for the 2022–2023(December-February) apple growers' training needs assessment in the Mandi region of Himachal Pradesh. 120 randomly chosen respondents who completed a pre-tested schedule provided the data. Descriptive research design was selected for the present study. The proper statistical tools were used to tabulate, analyses, and interpret the acquired data. According to the study, the majority of respondents (50.83%) were middle-aged, and (34.17) farmers held a medium amount of land. Farmers perceived major constraints as unprecedented weather conditions, such as heavy rainfall, snowfall, hailstorms, etc., particularly at the critical stage of apple cultivation, as a very serious problem by a number of respondents, with the majority of respondents having medium level economic motivation and risk orientation.
