 📑 ABSTRACT 📑

👉 Inclusive and empathic communication, in all its declensions, is crucial today both in daily life and in emergency situations. Each of us has a personal way of communicating and in every meaning, even in silence, through touch, with a simple nod or in another language.

👉 Despite the presence of endless possibilities to convey any message, today people continue to always go through traditional channels such as voice and sound, thus leaving behind all the people who have specific needs or use unconventional channels for communication. 

👉 Before, during, and after natural disasters, the absence of effective communication that reaches everyone is not considered in every variable, and as a result, people become increasingly vulnerable.

👉 How can one ask for help or get information about a possible alert? How to relate to a vulnerable person in an emergency? These are some of the questions that can be answered in the experiences that will be shared.
