Technical risk not being taken seriously is undoubtedly thegreatest potential risk. Domestic, technology risk management and dissemination of real attentionfrom the2003SARS crisis and is increasingly becoming a hot issue of academia. In recent years,the research in the field of practice has also made considerable progress, many important results.However, due to the lack of experience in risk crisis response, a variety of technical risk awarenessand research is still in its infancy, research is focused on the cases and the locality of risk, coupledwith the context of globalization and the new media environment The incident conditions continueto change, we need from a new perspective and more comprehensive, the dimension of the systemto undertake further studies on the technical risk communication issues.The papers of Theory in Practice-based premise, the use of a variety of research methods,depth analysis of the current technical risk communication difficulties, risk communication to buildmodels and reference strategy: First, in the face of globalization, risk society and the advent ofmedia-oriented society background, realistic scenarios to resolve the contemporary riskcommunication, context, social risks and characteristics of public crisis, the formation mechanism for dissemination system of political, economic, social and cultural values of transformation andchange possible space and trends, social mechanisms of risk spread mode and other fundamentalissues.
