An RSI Communicating Risk method
Data visualization and synthesis tools
Data visualization and synthesis tools is one of the methods used by Risk Sciences International to better communicate risk.
Broadly
This method uses visual formats—such as charts, maps, dashboards, and conceptual diagrams—to make complex risk information understandable and actionable. Visualization enhances pattern recognition, memory retention, and decision support. Challenges include balancing simplicity with accuracy and ensuring accessibility across literacy levels.
More specifically
RSI designs data visualizations that support both technical review and public communication. It integrates design principles with data integrity, translating uncertainty and probability into formats that facilitate insight and action. RSI also uses visual synthesis tools to convey the interrelationships between risks, policies, and outcomes.
