Extra, Extra Read All About the ICC!!!
The next form of risk communication we are going to address are press releases. How is the media going to find about our little ICC? Perusing the Washington Post Online I found several articles that discuss the ICC, most were not positive.
Opponents Want Legislature to Halt Construction
and some were:
Lawmakers Shave More From Funds Designated for Intercounty Connector
Looking at these articles allowed me to brain storm what other news stories could surround the ICC and would be important in informing residents of it’s risk? Here’s what I came up with:
- protests from Maryland college students : This would be a positive rhetorical situation bringing attention to the ICC through a dramatic situation that the cameras would love.
-Species becoming endangered because of environmental effects: Run off from construction sites are creeping into Maryland water system with nothing to block the. This puts native animals at risk because they are not used to chemical inbalances
-air quality dangers: If the ICC goes through that means many many more cars on the road. Cars that will release harful gases such as carbon dioxide and air clogging particulates.
-residents losing homes and land unfairly: Residents are not being compensated fairly for land that the state of Maryland is taking to make room for the ICC.
