“…Fear appeals can produce at least two different outcomes: (1) an emotional, defensive ‘fear control’ response, where the receiver denies or minimizes the risk or responds with even more dysfunctional, risk-seeking behaviour; or (2) a cognitive, preventive ‘danger control’ response, where the recipient acts to mitigate the risk (Ryan, Hocke, & Hilyard, 2012; Witte, 1992). If the child feels capable of managing the threat, i.e.…”

“…However, scaring children who do not have the tools to act will only result in unhealthy fear (Witte, 1992). Fear appeal directed towards children should be balanced with healthy parent–child discourse to foster coping and learning (Ryan et al, 2012). …”

“…Considering the extensive use of the Internet, Ryan et al (2012) argues that this arena can function as a unique tool in preparing children for disasters, especially those children living in disadvantaged homes where parents are less educated, less involved and where there are fewer resources to achieve efficacy and preparedness. Children can access disaster information that is not provided at home through the Internet.…”

“…Children can access disaster information that is not provided at home through the Internet. Moreover, online tools are cost-effective and may reach many children (Ryan et al, 2012).

A vast number of people annually are affected by natural disasters. Children are at risk of losing their lives and suffer mentally or physically after such events. The fostering of resilience and preparedness ahead of disasters can reduce untoward effects of disastrous events. Risk communication and disaster education are considered important aspects of disaster preparedness, but little is known about whether such strategies influence children’s behaviour when natural disasters occur or how they cope in the aftermath. This paper presents and discusses various strategies that promote preparedness activities to save lives. To a minor extent, it also includes strategies that can promote coping in the aftermath. Strategies such as informational campaigns, educational activities, psychoeducation and parental guidance are addressed. The literature to date indicates that schools are a suitable arena for risk communication, and that adolescents themselves should be involved and engaged in the communication strategies. However, the relationship between knowledge of preparedness strategies and the resulting preparedness actions is largely unknown. It is unknown whether changes in awareness and attitudes have resulted in actual behaviour change. It is advocated that preparedness activities and parental involvement should supplement information-based strategies.

Children have been identified as particularly vulnerable to psychological and behavioral difficulties following disaster. Public child and family disaster communication is one public health tool that can be utilized to promote coping/resilience and ameliorate maladaptive child reactions following an event. We conducted a review of the public disaster communication literature and identified three main functions of child and family disaster communication: fostering preparedness, providing psychoeducation, and conducting outreach. Our review also indicates that schools are a promising system for child and family disaster communication. We complete our review with three conclusions. First, theoretically, there appears to be a great opportunity for public disaster communication focused on child disaster reactions. Second, empirical research assessing the effects of public child and family disaster communication is essentially nonexistent. Third, despite the lack of empirical evidence in this area, there is opportunity for public child and family disaster communication efforts that address new domains.
