Risk Communication
“Communication is important in all aspects of dam safety within an organization, with the public, and with the specific owners or stakeholders of a project. However, communication about the work associated with risk is particularly important because of the fears, sentiments, perceptions, and emotions surrounding the work risk and the use of risk analysis in engineering”.[1]

Provide context for risk communications (i.e., compare with other risks). This is especially important for the public who may have trouble identifying the significance of dam safety risks”.[1]
