About the Book
Modern Crisis Response for a Polyrisis World
Throw away the 200-page binder. The singular "crisis" no longer exists.
In 2026, threats don't stay isolated; they cascade, amplify, and interact. If your response plan is slower than the algorithms spreading the problem, you have already lost control.
"Building Your Crisis Communication Plan" is a practical, hands-on workbook designed to replace static, outdated playbooks with a dynamic framework built for the speed of the digital age.
Why this workbook is different:
- Handle Interconnected Threats: Move beyond single-issue planning. Learn to build responses for scenarios where failures intersect and trigger cascading effects.
- Streamlined Response Teams: Replace slow, rigid committees with a small Core Hub that activates specific experts (legal, IT, HR) only when necessary.
- Prioritise At-Risk Audiences: Forget the "General Public". Use precise segmentation to ensure resources and empathy reach the people most affected.
- Assume Digital Failure: We assume primary channels will go down. The book provides blueprints for pre-built "Dark Sites" and redundant protocols to maintain communication when main systems fail.
- Modular Messaging: Use pre-vetted message blocks to assemble authentic, legally compliant responses in minutes rather than hours.
Includes the 2026 Digital Template Archive
