Background and objective:The world today, in addition to dealing with natural disasters such as flood and earthquake, is witnessing humanitarian disasters like war. Although perceived risk is a subjective risk assessment and it varies from person to person and from region to region, but the formation of a proper risk communication at the time of these events is a task for health experts. Risk communication is a two-way, dynamic interaction in which both sides exchange information about the nature, importance and control of the risk. This article was written to understand risk, public health and risk communication. Paper Type:letter to editor.
