Best Practices for Ethical Post-Disaster Community Outreach and Engagement—CONVERGE Extreme Events Research Check Sheets Series

This check sheet outlines considerations for engagement with and outreach to participants in disaster-affected communities. The best practices outlined in this document can help disaster researchers to engage ethically with community members throughout the research process—from study design, to data collection, to the return of findings and results. About the CONVERGE Extreme Events Research Check Sheets Series: The National Science Foundation-supported CONVERGE facility at the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado Boulder has developed a series of short, graphical check sheets that are meant to be used as researchers design their studies, prepare to enter the field, conduct field research, and exit the field. The series offers best practices for extreme events research and includes check sheets that are free to the research community.
