Crisis and Risk Communication

 (CRC) is an official publication of the International Crisis and Risk Communication Association.  Crisis and risk communication research is increasingly recognized as essential to informing crisis preparedness, response, recovery, learning, resilience, and change in a world characterized by expanding multiple hazards of local, regional, national, and global scope and scale.

The journal is dedicated to publishing original scholarship that enhances our understanding of crisis and risk communication across disciplines, including human communication, media, sociology, psychology, organizational studies, and political science, among others.  CRC seeks a broad range of scholarship that reflects the international, intercultural, and interdisciplinary nature of risk and crisis communication research. A wide array of methodological approaches, such as experimental, case studies, survey, critical scholarship, ethnography, content analysis, theoretical frameworks, conceptualizations, engaged scholarship, systematic reviews, as well as critiques and commentaries on the field are welcome.

CRC is a double-blind peer reviewed journal, with an editorial board that includes members reflecting the interdisciplinary and international nature of the field.
