Abstract

CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) risk communication with the public is critical to emergency preparedness and response. Effectively communicating with the public during and after incidents or terrorist attacks involving CBRN hazards is essential for minimising health effects and ensuring public safety. Fundamental principles and strategies for CBRN risk communication include some of the following key elements: timeliness and accuracy, transparency, empathy and understanding, consistent messages, plain language, media coordination, and feedback mechanisms. Applying this approach, emergency responders and authorities can enhance CBRN risk communication with the public, ultimately minimising health effects and fostering community resilience in the face of any emergency involving the uncontrollable release of CBRN agents. By incorporating 
these aspects into risk communication strategies, authorities can enhance their ability to effectively convey information, build trust, and promote public safety when dealing with dangerous substances. The paper reflects on the latest situation in this area where effective risk communication is crucial when dealing with CBRN and other dangerous substances to ensure the safety of individuals and the community.
