Publisher Description

A crisis is an event that would detrimentally and significantly affect the health, safety, operation, reputation, and/or well-being of any individual in camp, the camp itself, or the surrounding community—and it requires immediate action. The key to managing a crisis is communication—in prevention, in response, and in recovery. A well-conceived crisis-response communications plan will ensure that everyone has the most up-to-date information to support the varied needs of campers, staff, families, and the larger community. Within Crisis Communications Weathering the Storm, you will find resources to create your own customized crisis-response communications plan, as well as suggestions and templates for a complete crisis plan.

Crisis Communications—An Overview (your audience and ten crisis communications essentials)
Key Messages (proactive and reactive)
