On 25-27 August 2025 PRIO, in collaboration with Nord University Business School, Center for Crisis Management and Collaboration, will host the course: Digitalizing public emergency communication: New technologies and Debates – Research School on Peace and Conflict
This course explores how digital tools enhance emergency communication among first responders and with the public, while also addressing challenges and opportunities presented by new communication technologies.
New digital tools for public emergency communication such as emergency apps for smartphones, location-based text messaging and cell broadcast emergency alerts offer advantages in terms of scale, reach and speed of communication, while also presenting new challenges to first responders, the general public and emergency planners. Key questions discussed in this course are: How can public emergency alerting systems warn citizens more quickly about threats like floods and fires? What are the opportunities and challenges of using social media to share information about emergencies? What is the best way to collect information form the public and how do people find the best and most reliable sources of information during emergencies? How do people use digital tools such as emergency mobile apps? What is helpful and what can go wrong with these tools?
The course is master-level 7,5 ECTS.
