Abstract

The special collection on the Legacy of Dennis S. Mileti and the Future of Public Alert and Warning Research is available in the ASCE Library. Mileti was regarded by many of his colleagues as the world’s foremost expert on public alert and warning. All the members of ASCE benefited from his wide-ranging sociological expertise, generous guidance, and wisdom. He recommended such clarity and concision as the ideal approach to communication, and he was known to practice what he preached. One of Mileti’s initial contributions to the field was the focus of this special collection. The foundational Communication of Emergency Public Warnings, which was co-authored with his collaborator Dr. John Sorensen, cataloged all available empirical research related to behavioral responses to alerts and warnings. The report offered a summary of the state of the art, as well as an agenda for future research and practice.
