Navigating a New Era of Crisis Communications: How to Manage Non-traditional Events
The world is increasingly complex. An incident in one county can rapidly become an national crisis, fueled by 24 hour news media coverage, and the proliferation of mass media. Governments are faced with an unrelenting expansion of communications media. Planning ahead and protecting citizens from risk is becoming ever more demanding. Pandemics, popular uprisings, and the disruption of essential services are but some of the unpredictable events that have left governments looking vulnerable and unprepared.
This workshop explores crisis management and the way in which communication can be used as a crisis management tool. The aim is to ensure that participants will be better able to work with colleagues to develop and deliver straightforward, practical communication strategies for managing crises.
