Abstract

It is increasingly realised that information alone does not generate changes, whereas communication which implies participation together with knowledge sharing is the key to social change. Particularly, ICT has great potential in the field of disaster management as technology support is required in all phases for data collection, preparedness, communication, warning dissemination, knowledge management, and capacity building. Since ICT is recognised as one of the key enablers for achieving effective disaster risk management at the community level, this study aims to highlight the factors influencing coastal community's attitude and intention to use ICT for disaster and development communication in the Nagapattinam District of Tamilnadu in India.
