Preparing for Damage Control
Are you prepared for a business crisis? Would you know what a crisis was? How you react to a crisis and whether details get in to the media or not depends on how you handle it. A crisis can be anything from an accident, theft or computer glitch to an industrial spill, death of a director, discrimination or harassment suit....or worse. There are some simple steps you can take to protect the good name and image of your business - it's not rocket science, it's good sense.

The Fundamentals of Crisis Communications
Crisis communications at its most basic level consists of three elements: crisis planning, crisis response and crisis recovery. This article explores each of these categories and provides helpful tips for how to get started.
Crisis intensifiers: From Mild to Radioactive why crisis sometimes gets out of hand.
Crisis intensifiers not only have the ability to worsen a crisis situation, they can blunt the effectiveness of any crisis management strategies. When crisis strikes, quick response may mitigate its effects. Ide III & Yarn (2003), suggest the almost insatiable appetite of the news media for sensationalism, and its ability to share such information widely and instantaneously, can quickly turn a mere rumor or speculation into a full blown crisis potentially damaging reputation and undermining legitimacy to exist.

Tiger Woods’ Unconventional Crisis Management Deserves An A Grade.
In managing a crisis, conventional wisdom commands to talk to the media as quickly as possible, tell what you know, tell it all and promise more as soon as more information is known. As Tiger Woods copes with what he calls his "personal failings," his one car accident on November 27, 2009 at his estate, some have suggested he employs the conventional wisdom of crisis management. See Magic Johnson on Larry King, December 4, 2009. Tiger Woods has so far resisted, choosing instead to employ an unconventional approach for which, in my opinion, he deserves an A in crisis management.

The Real Crisis With Crisis PR
When a crisis hits, who do you call? Your lawyer of course. But in this image conscious world in which we live, you also need to get on the phone to your PR/crisis manager. Not all PR people are experts in crisis communications, so it is important that you have someone who is experienced in dealing with highly sensitive, high pressure situations; someone who knows how to handle the media, gauge public opinion, has an understanding of legal terminology and most of all, has experience in damage control.

Keeping the Wolves at Bay: Media Training by Jonathan Bernstein
It seems that every time we turn on the news, there is a new scandal. It may be a celebrity marriage on the rocks, a fading star in trouble again with the law, a politician being accused of breaking the law or international companies dealing with a catastrophic disaster - all these people have one thing in common. They need to handle the crisis and that means handling the media. What better resource to understand the process than a crisis management expert.

THE NEW CONSUMER’S COURT : CREATIVE COMMUNICATION IN THE 21ST CENTURY :
For many companies, managing a communication crisis is to have good communication. However, we must not confuse crisis management and crisis communication. A crisis is not similarly managed like communication as the communication does not manage a business. However, communication is certainly the best way to deal with a crisis.

Master Effective Crisis Management Skills through the Media
No company will ever be fully prepared for any crisis to their business. The key is to develop a standard contingency plan to keep the public informed through the media on how they handle the crisis.
