Efforts in the United States continue to communicate information about earthquake risk to the public. These efforts fall into two categories. First, risk is communicated to inform and educate citizens about general earthquake risk. Second, risk is communicated in reference to the prediction of warning of a specific impending earthquake. Central to both risk communication types are the perceptions which the public forms about earthquake risk since these perceptions direct public behavior.
