Читать книгу Communicating in Risk, Crisis, and High Stress Situations: Evidence-Based Strategies and Practice - Vincent T. Covello - Страница 49

Coordination and collaboration among risk management authorities are seldom adequate. In many debates about risks, for example, lack of coordination and collaboration has severely undermined public trust and confidence. Compounding such problems is the lack of consistency in approaches to risk assessment and management by authorities at the local, regional, national, and international levels. For example, only limited requirements exist for regulatory agencies to develop coherent, coordinated, consistent, and interrelated plans, programs, and guidelines for managing risks. As a result, risk management systems are often highly fragmented. This fragmentation often leads to jurisdictional conflicts about which organization or agency, or level of government has the ultimate responsibility for assessing and managing a particular risk. Lack of coordination, different mandates, and confusion about responsibility and authority also lead to the production of multiple and competing estimates of risk. A commonly observed result of such confusion is the erosion of trust, confidence, and acceptance.
