Communicating public health information is an essential element of emergency preparedness and response. Timely and effective messages can help minimize people’s risk or vulnerability. For example, public health messages can inform people how to stay safe, take shelter, or evacuate.

Emergency management officials, public health professionals, and other stakeholders achieve effective risk communication by using preparedness planning and by developing messages for the whole community. This includes individuals who may be at greater risk or who need additional assistance because of access and functional needs.

This publication is an update to CDC’s Public Health Workbook: To Define, Locate, and Reach Special, Vulnerable, and At-Risk Populations in an Emergency published in 2010.
