Similarly, traditional seismic building cultures, where still existing, are ignored by modern engineers because of a lack of scientific evidence. The issue at stake here is not seismic engineering as such but the transfer on information from one actor to another. The question of proper communication of technical know-how is a fundamental one if seismic risk reduction is to be achieved. The present paper presents the training and communication efforts made during the post-earthquake reconstruction process in Pakistan, from 2006 to 2008, and sketches a series of possible means of communication to reach various groups of stakeholders. In particular it stresses the importance of future investments not to go only into engineering research but also into the research and development of communication tools.
