........................................................................................... The art of managing communication in a crisis When vital information needs to be delivered, the media plays a crucial role. But the media these days means different things to different people. It is not only television or a newspaper. It can be an Internet social network, a telephone hotline or a village bulletin board. As long as it creates pathways for communication, it is relevant and useful. This handbook will help you and your organisation to identify, deliver and assess your most important messages in times of crisis. It will also help choose which media is the best for a specific emergency in times of stress. In addition, it will aid in developing an internal communications structure on how to prepare for an emergency; cover an emergency; and, organise the aftermath of an emergency.
