Preparing for the Unexpected – Add Value to Your Organization During a Crisis

06/15/11

 

A crisis communications plan is a critical component of any organization’s crisis management program. Despite advances in digital technology and social media, a successful response to a crisis depends on a solid plan built around teams, processes, audiences and messages.
 
During this brown-bag lunch webinar you will learn how to:
 
• Identify the critical parts of a crisis plan.
• Leverage the value of other existing company plans and procedures.
• Select a crisis team and maximize its effectiveness.
• Maintain and improve your plan.
• Provide value to your organization when it counts — in a crisis. 
 

This webinar is free for PRSA members, and is sponsored by PRSA Western District.
