How to use technologies for communicating disaster risks to the population (covering early warning, risk information, stimulating risk reduction behaviour)?

Background

The challenges have become more complex, intertwined and dangerous as the world has become more uncertain and volatile. Domestic, overseas and online threats are increasingly integrated as adversaries develop capabilities and exploit vulnerabilities across borders and between the cyber and physical worlds. We are seeking research to help Government adapt to a changing security environment based on research and evidence.
