Having a Crisis Management Plan can help you plan for the unexpected. Most organizations are all too familiar with situations that can derail their efforts to provide an outstanding product or service. Are you prepared for such an event? Is everything in place to help you manage a crisis and protect not only the reputation of your organization, but also your events, board members, volunteers, and other stakeholders? If you are a student organization, are you and your students protected from unwanted mishaps? While a Crisis Management Plan cannot address every possible situation that can happen, it does provide a framework for ensuring you are doing your best to keep your organization and its people safe.

There are a number of situations a Crisis Management Plan can address and for which your staff and board can be prepared. Does your organization know how to handle a major emergency such as an injury or accident? What about severe weather conditions or an outbreak of illness? With the increase in mass shootings and intruder threats, are you prepared to protect and handle such a crisis? With the right plan in place, you can definitely be closer to effectively managing these, and other, situations.

Not only can a well-developed Crisis Management Plan help you prepare for the unexpected, it can also enable you to communicate the necessary information to the appropriate people at the right time. Ensuring that no one panics and that everyone receives the correct information is key to containing a crisis and handling it effectively and efficiently. Knowing in advance what everyone needs to do and when lends a spirit of stability and confidence to the situation.
