Risk and crisis communication

Risk and crisis communication

Crises come in many forms, such as a service disruption, water contamination, or when a sensational news story affects your city’s reputation.

Knowing what to do, what to say, and how to say it can be the difference between a quick recovery and a long calamity. Our team has been in your shoes, with extensive experience in crisis management, and can guide you successfully through the worst scenarios.

What we do

When done effectively, risk communication puts risk in context without trivializing it. Risk communication is crucial in situations where there is a real or perceived risk to public health, economic well-being, property values, or the environment.

Our team can bring their direct experience as media spokespeople and crisis managers to you, and we can also help prepare you. Although no crisis can be anticipated, having a well-developed and well-practiced crisis communication plan can give your staff a leg up when the inevitable happens. We can help you develop a crisis communication plan and design and run exercises with your team to practice how to respond to a crisis.
