Crisis communications is an aspect of PR that is used in the event of an unfortunate or unforeseen circumstance. A well-crafted crisis communication plan lays out in detail how to send messages to your employees, investors, customers and clients, the public and other specific stakeholders. A crisis communication plan may also outline what to do in case of a true emergency, explaining how your business would work with emergency personnel (police, firefighters, government officials) and keep all parties safe and in the loop.
A crisis communications plan guides an organization through difficult times to ensure safety, transparency, ease of communication and a good faith effort to relay information to the public. The public can be especially critical of companies during times of crisis (ahem, BP). For this reason, it’s absolutely vital that a well thought- out plan details how to disseminate accurate, relevant and honest information to the media, stakeholders and the public in a timely and accessible manner.
