Research into major incident communication
14 January 2019
NOTTINGHAMSHIRE FIRE and Rescue Service (NFRS) is proud to be taking part in a study to further understand more about how to communicate with the public during a major incident.
The research is being carried out by Nottingham Trent University, and will analyse how members of the public prefer to be communicated to and contacted in the event of an emergency.
The study, titled Psychology Information Handling in Disaster Management, is aimed at members of the emergency services, students from NTU and community volunteers.
The Service’s participation in the study will help to identify how the levels of awareness, age, gender, and socio-economic status can impact on preferences in engaging with a fire related major incident.
Anyone taking part in the study will be asked some real-life examples of messages in these instances and what your thoughts and opinions on them.
- “Appalling impact” persists as Government remediation plans “fail to measure up”
- Fire industry pays tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
- Pool Re expert assesses impact of COVID-19 on terrorism threats and trends
