This publication summarizes the proceedings of the 2003 CRN workshop in Oslo, Norway, which introduced a clear distinction between risk communication and crisis communication. Workshop participants agreed that communication becomes essential once a risk becomes a crisis. The report features a number of presentation abstracts on topics such as crisis simulations, the theory and practice of risk communications, and risk perceptions. It also provides an extended summary of the workshop findings.
