Unfortunately, crisis communication planning has become essential for business, non-profits, events and government agencies in the current age of scandals, weather events and terrorism. The speed of today's 24-hour news cycle and social media reporting makes preparation and protocol for crisis communications an absolute necessity. The Golding Group partners discuss when and how to manage information flow during a crisis that directly affects your business. We also discuss when to comment or stay out of the public discussion of current news events not directly related to your business. Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone currently dealing with and affected by storms, wildfires, mass shootings, terrorist attacks and other disasters. First responders, rescue and relief efforts are always most important but clear, professional communications are also important aspects of managing tragic events.
