Cím: The early warning system’s significance in the information society and the revision of information literacy during natural disaster operations
Absztrakt: Developing resilience is crucial to prevent and manage natural disasters, each ofwhich has unique characteristics that demand adaptable solutions. Nevertheless,preventive guidelines mostly apply technical or scientific approaches only, whichsignificantly complicates the development of appropriate informational behaviorand actions. The aim of the study presented here was to clarify the consequencesof the deficit in resilience that affects communities, a significant cause of which isdistrust stemming from the lack of proper information. In developing informationliteracy for crisis and warning communication, knowledge of disaster risks—as wellas the ability to detect, monitor, analyze, and forecast hazards—is essential for effectiveearly warning systems. The practical use of those features not only contributesto long-term prevention and risk analysis but can also be useful before a disasteroccurs, given the opportunity for avoidance from the time of detection to the timeof warning.
