Build effective crisis messages using three core elements: define the problem, describe what the organization is doing about it, and direct people on what they should do.

Identify the essential elements of a crisis communications plan, including goals, roles and responsibilities, defining your audience, and clear flows of information.

Actively manage crisis messaging by anticipating information needs, addressing misinformation, communicating what is known and unknown, and maintaining a steady flow of relevant information throughout the crisis.
