Are there training workshops, online training courses and leadership training courses established? Are health workers, civic leaders, media people prepared to handle next disaster and conduct crisis communication with responses that are Be first? Be right? Be credible? Are We Ready to provide communication for the Next Run of Crisis & Disaster?

  33. Establish a crisis a communication training center? Establish crisis communication workshops? Establish lecture circuit for health workers, civic leaders, media personnel? Establish social media for education & crisis communication purposes? What Can WACPHP Do?
