No company ever wants to experience a crisis, but what should happen when a crisis does occur? In this episode, Nick Leighton discusses what PR and communications professionals should do for their clients in the event of a crisis.

“Crisis” is in the eye of the beholder, and so the first question to ask is, “Are we actually in a crisis?” Various stakeholders will disagree on whether a crisis is occurring or not, and that not all crises are obvious. It is important to discuss crisis management with clients well in advance and to have a plan in place in case of an emergency.

The significance of the crisis, as well as the amount of uncertainty and ambiguity involved, are all important factors to consider when deciding on how to respond. How the crisis is perceived by the public, media, social media, and competitors can all influence the next steps taken to resolve the issue. Ultimately, the way a crisis is handled from the very beginning can have a significant impact on how the situation evolves.

In any crisis situation, speed is essential to prevent a vacuum of information which can lead to inaccurate stories circulating. With no official communication, the media will search for alternate sources and possibly create inaccurate stories about the incident. To prevent this, it is critical to have a plan in place and to act quickly to provide accurate information.
