One thing to understand about crisis communications: it doesn’t end when the incident is mitigated. Think about your communications strategy with a long-term mindset. Will the incident last an hour, a day, days or weeks? Think about what your message will be if it comes to reunification, resource assistance, healing and your community. And once the emergent messaging is complete, will you have more to say or does it go back to business as usual? Depending on your discipline, your partners may have long-term messages you can amplify. No two incidents are ever the same. But when it comes to large-scale incidents, think long-term from the start, just in case. Scaling back is much easier than ramping up, especially in the heat of the moment. #piolife #crisiscommunications #mediarelations

Handling a crisis effectively is crucial, but associations often stumble in a few key areas: 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞: Time is critical in a crisis. Failing to respond quickly can lead to speculation and loss of control. Acknowledge the situation promptly, even if details aren’t fully available. 𝐍𝐨 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧: Without a clear plan, responses can become inconsistent, leading to confusion. Have key messages, spokespeople and a strategy for internal and external communication ready. 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞: Show empathy and take responsibility where needed. Open, honest communication builds trust and shows commitment to resolving the issue. 𝐋𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬: Regular updates, even brief ones, reassure stakeholders that the situation is being managed.
