Integration of Technical Parameters and Management Elements. In contrast to the product- and pathogen-inherent factors which are beyond our control, there is a range of operational factors, as shown earlier in Table I. Their role and importance have been described (9, 12, 10, 11). Therefore they will not be addressed here in detail.

LindeU s work discussed the fact that people do not take information from expert sources at face value and introduced a need to consider both information about earthquake risk and preparedness and the qualify of the (communication) relationship between the sources and recipients of earthquake risk information. An important contextual element of this relationship is that it occurs under conditions of uncertainty. People may have no or limited experience of earthquakes, and the infrequent nature of earthquake activity makes it impossible for them to independently test the validity of the information about risk and preparedness. Under these circumstances, an important aspect of the relationship between source of information and its recipients is the degree to which recipients trust sources of information. Levels of risk acceptance and people s willingness to take responsibility for their own safety is increased, and decisions to take steps to actively manage their risk more likely, if people believe that their relationship with risk management agencies is fair and empowering (e.g., agencies are perceived as trustworthy, as...
