As extreme weather events seemingly increase in frequency and magnitude, we are accumulating evidence about how the intersection of circumstances creates vulnerability. The specter of elderly residents in Brooklyn, New York, trapped in their apartments for days due to flooding from the storm surge brought by Hurricane Sandy, provides us a troubling lesson. As vulnerability emerges from the confluence of multiple factors, changing social, natural, and other factors combine to create unimagined problems. Hong Kong is a case in point. The city has seen much of its new development occurring on reclaimed coastal land. At the same time, there has been a significant demographic shift as the city’s elderly population has been its fastest growing demographic. The social transition also means more elderly persons living alone. All of these produce conditions that render the population increasingly vulnerable to coastal flooding. Yet, there is not enough systematic effort, in major cities, at identifying these vulnerabilities. Hong Kong is emblematic of coastal cities the world over, in that it has yet to come to a full realization of such emerging risks. Future research must be able to analyze intersectionalities.

“…Umumnya stasiun televisi tersebut mengundang pakar hukum, legislatif serta kalangan lainnya untuk bertukar pendapat sehingga semakin banyak masyarakat yang teredukasi mengenai isu tersebut. Hal ini sejalan dengan model relasional komunikasi risiko yang diungkapkan Lejano et al, (2020) dimana tercipta sebuah kondisi dimana masyarakat dan pemangku kepentingan saling mengedukasi satu sama lain dan mengangkat sebuah risiko menjadi permasalahan bersama.…”

Perjalanan Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) hingga saat ini sarat dengan dinamika dan tantangan. Selama ini, KPK menjalankan tugasnya berdasar pada Undang-Undang nomor 30 tahun 2002, namun pada akhir tahun 2019, muncul wacana dan pembahasan perubahan terhadap Undang-Undang tersebut. Beberapa poin perubahan yang dibahas pada tingkat legislatif dinilai dapat membawa dampak yang cukup signifikan bagi lembaga dan berbagai pemangku kepentingan. Berbagai pihak berpendapat bahwa perubahan Undang-Undang yang menjadi pondasi lembaga tersebut berpotensi memberikan dampak pada kinerja maupun upaya pemberantasan korupsi di Indonesia seperti status lembaga, status pegawai komisi serta kewenangan komisi dalam menjalankan tugas dan fungsinya. Selain itu, wacana perubahan tersebut juga menimbulkan gejolak dan polarisasi publik di berbagai lapisan masyarakat. Perubahan peraturan dan perundang-undangan merupakan salah satu pemicu krisis pada organisasi. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, KPK melakukan sejumlah aktivitas komunikasi publik dalam rangka menghindari terjadinya krisis pada organisasi.

“…RMT can be utilized in communication (Grunig, 1993) that require listening and information exchange. Adopting this relational approach is particularly important for inclusive communication campaigns, as many marginalized groups may feel disempowered to act on early warning or preparedness information (Lejano et al, 2020). These two theories together offer one perspective on developing reflexivity in EEW communication campaigns (See Figure 1).…”

“…What is particularly relevant about RMT and its implicit application of the two-way model of communication is that it emphasizes behavioral relationships, which means that communication is not nearly a pro forma image building exercise but is based on actual actions (Grunig, 1993) that require listening and information exchange. Adopting this relational approach is particularly important for inclusive communication campaigns, as many marginalized groups may feel disempowered to act on early warning or preparedness information (Lejano et al. , 2020).…”

PurposeThe 2019 Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction (GAR) cites earthquakes as the most damaging natural hazard globally, causing billions of dollars of damage and killing thousands of people. Earthquakes have the potential to drastically impact physical, social and economic landscapes; to reduce this risk, earthquake early warning (EEW) systems have been developed. However, these technical EEW systems do not operate in a vacuum; the inequities in social systems, along with the needs of diverse populations, must be considered when developing these systems and their associated communication campaigns.Design/methodology/approachThis article reviews aspects of social vulnerability as they relate to ShakeAlert, the EEW system for the USA. The authors identified two theories (relationship management theory and mute group theory) to inform self-reflective questions for agencies managing campaigns for EEW systems, which can assist in the development of more inclusive communication practices. Finally, the authors suggest this work contributes to important conversations about diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) issues within early warning systems and earthquake preparedness campaigns in general.FindingsTo increase inclusivity, Macnamara (2012) argues that self-reflective questioning while analyzing perspective, philosophy and approaches for a campaign can help. Specific to EEW campaigns, developers may find self-reflective questions a useful approach to increase inclusion. These questions are guided by two theories and are explored in the paper.Research limitations/implicationsSeveral research limitations exist. First, this work explores two theories to develop a combined theoretical model for self-reflective questions. Further research is required to determine if this approach and the combination of these two theories have adequately informed the development of the reflective questions.Originality/valueThe authors could find little peer-reviewed work examining DEI for EEW systems, and ShakeAlert in particular. While articles on early warning systems exist that explore aspects of this, EEW and ShakeAlert, with its very limited time frames for warnings, creates unique challenges.
