BBC Media Action: A Guide for the Media on Communicating in Public Health Emergencies [en]

April 8, 2020

“A public health crisis or emergency is characterised by its ability to cause ill health and death among hundreds, thousands or sometimes millions of people.

In a health crisis, the media has the power to save lives.

Effective communication can help to prevent or reduce the spread of disease, and guide those affected towards health services and treatment.

This manual provides tips for media practitioners on how to help audiences during health emergencies.

It can be read in conjunction with BBC Media Action’s Lifeline Production Manual (available online) which provides more general guidance on how to communicate with people affected by humanitarian crises in order to help save lives and reduce suffering.1

Public health emergencies can start quickly or very slowly.

This manual will address those that start relatively quickly: rapid onset of public health emergencies.”

COVID-19: How to Include Marginalized and Vulnerable People in Risk Communication and Community Engagement [en]

March 25, 2020

 

“Women, the elderly, adolescents, youth, and children, persons with disabilities, indigenous populations, refugees, migrants, and minorities experience the highest degree
of socio-economic marginalization. Marginalized people become even more vulnerable in emergencies. This is due to factors such as their lack of access to effective surveillance and early-warning systems, and health services. The COVID-19 outbreak is predicted to have significant impacts on various sectors.

The populations most at risk are those that:

  • depend heavily on the informal economy;
  • occupy areas prone to shocks;
  • have inadequate access to social services or political influence;
  • have limited capacities and opportunities to cope and adapt and;
  • limited or no access to technologies.By understanding these issues, we can support the capacity of vulnerable populations in emergencies. We can give them priority assistance, and engage them in decision-making processes for a response, recovery, preparedness, and risk reduction.”

This guide was developed under the lead of UN Women and Translators Without Borders.
