UPDATED APRIL 2020 SAFETY FACTS AND SNACKS

A crisis is defined as, "any incident that can focus negative attention on a company and have an adverse effect on its overall financial condition, its relationships with its audiences, and/or its reputation within the marketplace".  

The purpose of a crisis management plan is to provide a systematic approach to managing a crisis in an organized fashion, without causing a major disruption to normal activities.
 
We plan to help create ways to respond very quickly to any type of situation because crises do not pause to allow us to think through the problem.
 
We will look at:

• Team Responsibilities, 
• Crisis Procedures, 
• Crisis Notification, 
• Procedures for Threats, 
• Dos and Don’ts of Working with the Media, 
• Creating a Buy-Time Statement, 
• Preparing for Questions, and 
• Guidelines for the Spokesperson.

In these uncertain times, let us guide you through the basics of crisis management and offer a forum to discuss action plans with your peers.

We look forward to chatting with you!
