All too often in Emergency Management we make certain assumptions about our target audience that are not necessarily true. A common prolific one is that we always know more than the audience about the topics we are presenting or providing guidance on. On its surface this makes perfect sense. But this is a utopian ideal. The truth is that many rarely stop to think about what is actually feasible or viable for their audience to do – exactly as the guidance prescribes. Every plan and guide we create and implement has assumptions – but how would they actually fare in non-theoretical physical reality?
