⚠️ CISA quietly moved to shut down its cyber threat alert system for critical infrastructure—and no one was told 🛑📉

Here’s what happened:
📢 Sector partners and vendors only learned about the shutdown from a brief public notice
📬 Even some within CISA were caught off guard
💥 Industry pushed back fast, and CISA reversed course
🤐 But no one is saying why it was planned—or how long it will stay

In a time when we preach the importance of public-private information sharing, cutting off one of the few direct federal-to-industry alert channels—without explanation—undermines trust and resilience.

This isn’t just about one tool. It’s about how we govern critical threat communication in a hyperconnected risk landscape.

"It is commonly stated that risk science is politically neutral. This perspective article discusses this assertion by scrutinizing the relationship between risk science and politics... Using some current risk problems as illustrating examples, including COVID-19 and climate change risk, the article argues that defending the political neutrality aim is paramount, especially with today's increasingly divisive political landscape."

Experts in how we think about risk and how we can best communicate risk to people who need that information assemble to deliver a snapshot of best practices on the operational level, key guidance for scientists, clinicians, public health administrators etc.

(We know a lot, far more than is routinely employed in engineering our communications for evidence-based best effects.)

Useful smorgasbord for those with institutional access.

#introduction

Hi everyone! I'm a #behavioralscientist with background in #psychology currently working at the Department of Communication at Pompeu Fabra University (Barcelona, Spain) after several years working in the UK.

I'm interested in how people make #judgments and #decisions and on ways of improving #riskcommunication and #sciencecommunication to support better decisions about #health and the #environment

Enjoying Mastodon so far!

👏Congrats @bfren on your 20th anniversary - a milestone we both share this year!

Our head of comms & partnership @GallaniBarbara is in Berlin 🇩🇪 today to discuss new #RiskCommunication formats for consumers at @bfren's international symposium
