The PRemise: How Do We Communicate Through a Crisis?

In today’s plugged-in world, communication during a crisis has taken on a different degree of urgency, meaning and function, and so providing a peek into an organization’s strength or weakness. With the internet and social media fast-tracking the transfer and sharing of news and providing a platform by which people can articulate their opinion on most things, organizations big and small are finding it imperative to be able to respond quickly and appropriately lest they risk compromising their reputation and business.

A crisis can take many forms. It can be a result of natural causes such as those caused by an earthquake or similar other natural disasters.
