Geographic perspectives on disaster risk management: communicating and understanding risk

Last of a four-part webinar series covering the launch of a new book Geographical Perspectives on Disaster Risk Management published by Wiley and featuring members of the Royal Geographical Society Disaster Risk Management Professional Practice Group.

In this session, speakers explore how spatial analysis, data visualisation, reporting, and digital mapping can help communicate risk and support decision-making.

Drawing on examples from sectors including defence, emergency response, development, and business, they examine how different organisations use risk information and identify approaches that can be applied across a range of settings.

Please note: The views of our speakers do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Royal Geographical Society.

Note on captions 

The Society aims to provide automatically-generated captions for all event recordings. The captions appear as text at the bottom of the video which you can toggle on and off.

The accuracy of automatically-generated captions varies depending on the audio quality, any specialist language used and the speaker. They are therefore are unlikely to be 100% accurate and the Society does not edit or correct automatically-generated captions.
