This session will begin with sharing the core elements that are the foundation to your crisis communications plan. Facilitators will walk through a crisis case identifying what worked, what didn’t and why. The room will then be divided into groups and work on a case study that will be based on a current trending issue. If your school doesn’t have a crisis communications plan, this session will provide guidelines for the development of one.
