Risk Communication is a research-based approach for communicating effectively in high concern, sensitive, high-stress, emotionally charged and/or controversial situations. The goals of this program of "assisted dialogue among stakeholders" are to enhance trust and credibility, increase knowledge and awareness, and resolve conflict. The HPMC OMS Risk Communicator (RC) provides guidance, recommendations and outlines for effective communication among the many stakeholders involved with Hanford operations. The RC also gives trainings in Risk Communication and can act as facilitator at meetings planned by and for groups who wish to achieve consensus on a controversial topic.
