Managing Crisis

Developing a crisis management plan will help you take the necessary steps towards preparedness. While many of the steps included in the crisis management plan are useful for coping with disaster, others are good practices even under normal circumstances for promoting the overall health of your organization. Being fiscally responsible, establishing strong communication policies, protecting employees and volunteers, and creating an efficient managerial structure are all excellent policies, even when sailing smooth waters.
