What type of communication strategy was employed by the DHFS staff regarding the mercury spill event?

  1. They created a website to post updates

  2. They used social media for live updates

  3. Risk communication to effectively convey messages through letters, press conferences, and public meetings

  4. Only sent a single notification letter to students' parents

The correct answer is: They used social media for live updates

The DHFS staff used social media for live updates as a communication strategy. This allowed for timely and easily accessible information for the community. Option A, creating a website, is a good way to provide updates but may not be as immediate as social media. Option C, risk communication, involves using various methods such as letters, press conferences, and public meetings to effectively convey messages and involve the public in decision making. This would have been a good approach as well, but may have taken longer to reach all members of the community. Option D, only sending a single notification letter, is not an effective communication strategy as it may leave out individuals who did not receive the letter or were not aware of the event.
