Often, when a crisis is thrust into the public eye, it causes others to take notice and think about their own crisis management plans. A recent article from the Cookeville Times website investigated the ways various organizations prepare for crises, as well as sharing this advice:
In a speech to an assembled group of business people last week, Fred Baker, Attorney with Wimberly Lawson, spoke to the crowd about the necessity of crisis planning for all organizations. “There are many things to consider,” said Baker, “like how will you get people paid if you can’t get in your building? How will they know when to come to work or where to get information?”
This process of contingency planning through internal brainstorming is crucial. We formalize the process here at BCM through something called a vulnerability audit.
