Businesses of all sizes need an effective crisis PR management program. Whether you have a small mom-and-pop shop or a large corporation, you need to have a crisis PR management plan in place to protect your investment, people, and yourself.

There is no such thing as a "one-size-fits-all" PR crisis strategy. Each plan should be tailored according to the requirements and situation of each company. Larger corporations would often have a more comprehensive PR crisis strategy that includes several different action plans, resources, people in their team, and even influencers to help improve their image. On the other hand, a smaller company might have a single person in its crisis PR management team.

Each crisis PR management plan differs depending on the company's situation and circumstances. But every plan should have the following:

Delegate Roles and Responsibilities: Appoint the roles of each member. This will make the execution of the plan easier and quicker. People will panic less if they know what they are going to do before the PR crisis hits.
Communication: Your plan should include how the company's team will communicate effectively with each other and the outsourced crisis PR management team (if any).
Inclusion: Consider the entire community, stakeholders, influencers, clients, customers, employees, and your audiences when making a PR crisis management plan.
Stick To Your Company's Values The message you send should reflect your company's core values and stand.

The first thing you need to do when a journalist contacts you during a crisis PR management situation is to be calm and take the call. Greet them respectfully and speak in a neutral tone. Then, find out the following information:

Who they are
Which publication or network they are working for
Why are they calling you
What do they need from you

When all the needed information is provided, let them know that you are very happy and willing to cooperate with them but you need some time. Ask for their contact details and if they have any deadlines. If you don't know how to answer, call Amicus at (604) 200 - 5402 and we will handle the situation for you. And remember, never say "no comment"!
