Stages in crisismanagement
Pre-Crisis Phase The pre-crisis phase is concerned with prevention
and preparation.
Prevention involves seeking to reduce known risks
that could lead to a crisis. This is part of anOrganizations risk management program.
Preparation involves creating the crisismanagement team.
Plan, selecting and training the crisismanagement team, and conducting exercises totest the Crisis management plan and crisismanagement team.

Crisis ResponseThe crisis response is what management does and
says after the crisis hits. Public relations plays acritical role in the crisis response by helping todevelop the messages that are sent to various
people.A great deal of research has examined the crisis
response. That research has been divided into twosections:
(1) Immature crisis response(2) Mature crisis response

Ten Steps Of CrisisManagement
26
8/2/2019 Crisis Management Revised
27/43
1. Identify Your Crisis Communication TeamA small team of senior executives should be identified to serve
as your organization's Crisis Communication Team. Ideally, the
team will be led by the organization's CEO, with the firm's toppublic relations executive and legal counsel as his or her chiefadvisers.
2. Identify SpokespersonsThe fact is that some chief executives are brilliant businesspeople but not very effective in-person communicators. Thedecision about who should speak is made after a crisis breaks but the pool of potential spokespersons should be identified andtrained in advance.
27
8/2/2019 Crisis Management Revised

3. Spokesperson Training
All stakeholders internal and external are just as capableof misunderstanding or misinterpreting information about yourorganization as the media, and it's your responsibility to
minimize the chance of that happening. Spokesperson trainingteaches you to be prepared, to be ready to respond in a waythat optimizes the response of all stakeholders.
4. Establish Notification Systems
Today, we have to have immediately at hand the meansto reach our internal and external stakeholders using multiplemodalities. Many of us have several phone numbers, more thanone email address, and can receive SMS (text) messages orfaxes. Instant Messenger programs, either public or proprietary,are also very popular for business and personal use.
28

5. Identify and Know Your Stakeholders
Who are the internal and external stakeholders thatmatter to your organization? I consider employees to be
your most important audience, because every employeeis a PR representative and crisis manager for yourorganization whether you want them to be or not.
6. Anticipate CrisisIf you're being proactive and preparing for crisis, gatheryour Crisis Communication Team for long brainstormingsessions on all the potential crisis which can occur atyour organization. Here it also means that to anticipate
the consequences of crisis.

7. Develop Holding StatementsWhile full message development must await theoutbreak of an actual crisis, "holding statements"
messages designed for use immediately after a crisisbreaks can be developed in advance . For example-
"Our hearts and minds are with those who are in harm'sway, and we hope that they are well."
8. Assess the Crisis Situation
Reacting without adequate information is a classic"shoot first and ask questions afterwards" situation inwhich you could be the primary victim.
30
8/2/2019 Crisis Management Revised
31/43
9. Identify Key Messages
The team already knows, categorically, what type ofinformation its stakeholders are looking for. Keep it simple
have no more than three main messages for all stakeholdersand, as necessary, some audience-specific messages forindividual groups of stakeholders.
10. Riding Out the StormNo matter what the nature of a crisis...no matter whether it's
good news or bad...no matter how carefully you've preparedand responded...some of your stakeholders are not going toreact the way you want them to. This can be immenselyfrustrating. What do you do? Take a deep breath, decide ifanother communication to those stakeholders is likely to
change their impression for the better.
