ABSTRACT

The objective of the study is to explore the factors related to the risk of emergency communication and public awareness in China's specific social, cultural and media environment, and analyze their impact on public crisis communication and coping strategies, so as to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for strengthening public crisis management and social response. The results of the study revealed that in-depth study of the psychological and social mechanisms of emergency communication can promote the improvement of the public's risk awareness and coping ability, improve the social response to emergencies and management efficiency, and thus build a more secure and stable social environment. At the same time, the research results can help improve the public's risk awareness and information literacy, promote the public's effective response and participation in emergencies, and reduce the occurrence and expansion of communication risks.
