- AbstractRisk communication is an integral part of risk assessment and the process of risk management. One central tool of effective risk communication, especially with regards to stakeholder participation, is the risk dialogue (Lundgren & McMakin, 2009). A risk dialogue is centred on actively involving different groups of stakeholders in a two ]way exchange of related information or knowledge (Hoppner at al., 2012). In the frame of the PARAmount project, a Regional Risk Dialogue (RRD) was initiated in the Austrian Stanzer Valley test bed in the Tyrol. The RRD brings the Austrian project partners (PPs) and a wide range of project ]external beneficiaries together. These include key decision ]makers, road and rail engineers and natural hazard experts from institutions dealing with the operation and maintenance of the critical infrastructure in the Stanzer Valley as well as relief units. Furthermore, stakeholders representing institutions heavily relying on the availability of critical infrastructure (e.g. tourism board, chamber of commerce) were invited to join. All levels of government (national, provincial, district and municipal) were represented in the RRD, setting the stage for an improvement of intersector and cross ]sector risk communication. In the risk management context, the RRD is situated in the prevention / preparation stage of the risk cycle (see www.planat.ch). As described by Hoppner at al. (2012), risk communication and thus the RRD form an intricate part of this stage of integral risk management, e.g. by raising awareness, building trust and involving stakeholders in decision ]making. The objectives, methodology and key results from the two RRD meetings held in the frame of PARAmount are described below.
