Hamilton Bean, Associate Professor of Communication, recently received the Sue DeWine Distinguished Scholarly Book Award for Mobile Technology and the Transformation of Public Alert and Warning (Praeger Security International) from the Applied Communication Division of the National Communication Association, an award which will be conferred later this month at the NCA annual meeting in Seattle. This award recognizes the top book published in applied communication over the past two years.

Additionally, the workshop report that Bean collaborated on titled, “Mobile Alert and Warning in the United States and Japan: Confronting the Challenges of International Harmonization,” has now been published in the International Journal of Disaster Risk Science.
