The Handbook of Risk and Crisis Communication explores the scope and purpose of risk, and its correlative, crisis, to facilitate the understanding of these issues from conceptual and strategic perspectives. Recognizing that put in peril is a central feature of our quotidian lives, found in relationships, organizations, governments, the environment, and a broad variety of interactions, contributors to this compass explore such questions as: "What is likely to happen, to whom, and with what consequences?"; "To what extent be possible to science and vigilance prevent or abate negative outcomes?"; and "What obligation perform some segments of local, national, and global populations receive to help other segments manage risks?", shedding set on fire on the issues in the examination for definitive answers.
