Customer Care
Emergencies happen. Emergencies can be limited in scope or they can reach disaster proportions, sweeping through an entire community or multiple communities. Being prepared to respond to and recover from emergencies is everyone's challenge. Whether your organization is a government agency tasked with a particular response role, a volunteer agency that responds to the community's needs, or a private sector entity that may be faced with an emergency situation, you have an important role in that preparation.
As an outcome of your community's or organization's emergency planning process, plans should be in place that specify how you prepare for emergencies, how you will respond if an emergency occurs, how you will mitigate the potential effects of emergencies, and how you will recover.
The best way to prepare for a disaster is to avoid the disaster. Therefore, look for any potential problems you can find and correct them. You should address those issues that you can solve and which will provide benefit.

Purpose
A crisis communication plan provides policies and procedures for the coordination of communications within the company, and between the company, the media and the public in the event of an emergency or controversial issue. Emergencies may include fires, bomb threats, natural disasters, or major crimes. Controversial issues may include police investigations, protests or other situations that demand a public response.
This plan should not only addresses media relations and communications issues, but should also include procedures for the rapid identification of potentially harmful situations and the methods for responding to these situations quickly and effectively.
It should be the goal of this crisis communications plan to establish guidelines for dealing with a variety of situations, and to ensure that company officials and communicators are familiar with those procedures and their roles in the event of a crisis.
The plan should be designed to be used in conjunction with the normal decision-making hierarchy of the company and should not supplant that decision-making process. It is designed to be used in conjunction with operational crisis response plans managed through environmental health, facilities operations and other units.
Objectives

To assemble a Crisis Communication Team that will make recommendations on appropriate responses.
To implement immediate action to:
Identify constituencies that should be informed about the situation.
Communicate facts about the crisis.
Minimize rumours.
Restore order and/or confidence
