- Description
- White Paper Format Template Broad Agency Announcement 10-16 The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate Human Factors and Behavioral Science Division (DHS S&T HF/BSD) will support the implementation of a project in Effective Risk Communications Against the IED Threat-hereafter referred to as the "CIED (i.e., Counter-IED) Risk Communications" project-within the Community Preparedness and Resilience program area. The project supports this effort by examining the methods and means for framing effective hazard and risk warnings and public service communications by local government officials, senior First Responders, and civic leaders in the event of a terrorist attack or campaign employing Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). The objective of this research effort is to develop empirically-based and peer-reviewed guidelines for use by local government officials and civic leaders in framing hazard and risk warnings for their communities in the event of a terrorist attack employing an improvised explosive device. Based on these guidelines, the project will then deliver a PC-based Risk Communications Simulation System (RCSS) for creating realistic training scenarios using locally generated video and digital imagery to enable local officials to develop, analyze and assess the impact of hazard and risk warnings, public service announcements, and communications to the public for specific threat scenarios. In addition to its use in developing training scenarios, the RCSS is intended to permit evaluation of different courses of action and communications strategies for transmitting warnings and instructions through the various media, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of messages and issuing authorities for messages targeted at specific populations. While focused on the problem of terrorism involving IEDs, a Risk Communications Simulation System would potentially have broad applicability for training local leadership in risk communications strategies to protect communities and citizens against hazards and threats from any source. The "Effective Risk Communications Against the IED Threat" Broad Agency Announcement (BAA 10-16) Solicitation document will be available at FedBizOpps.gov and https://baa.st.dhs.gov/ on 10 August 2010.
