Crisis Management Planning

The objective of this case is to understand the importance of crisis management. This case is intended to make the reader consider not only financial implications at the time of the event but the effects on the long term strategies of the organization. Also, the case urges participants to think about the consequences not only on the customer but on those within the organization as well.

Unfortunately, sudden death, suicide, and violence are crisis incidents that occur in schools. These types of events impact the lives of students and result in an increased need for crisis counseling. In the event of a crisis it takes a collective and collaborative effort amongst school staff, community members, and mental health professionals to help the school, and students recover. The school staff must be prepared to respond quickly after a crisis has occurred. They will be confronted immediately with a number of serious issues. For example, they will need to verify what actually happened, protect the privacy of the students and their families, help students cope, and work with parents. In the event of a crisis, normal coping mechanisms

These decisions makers have defined what the organizations mission is and are constantly working towards it. Realizing that crisis management must be more than mere lip-service, leaders develop training programs around various crisis situations and drill often on various scenarios that could envelop any organization. While training leaders stress working “smarter”, managing their training time around obsessive planning for numerous crisis events means being better prepared when an actual disaster

There are many important aspects that must be considered when looking into the US emergency management system. Planning for disasters, both man-made and natural, can be overwhelming and a bit intimidating. From small towns to large metropolitan cities, major catastrophic events can happen at any time and planning for these events must occur before an event takes place. Emergency and disaster planning involves a coordinated, co-operative process of preparing to match urgent needs with available resources. Since emergencies strike without warning and neatly fit into a one size fits all plan, an emergency plan needs to be a living document that is periodically adapted to changing circumstances and that provides a guide to the protocols,

In the school setting, open communication would work by having the staff members equipped with radios, walkie talkies, and or headsets, so contacting people on site and outside by making it easier for someone to get help faster and much quicker. Also a part of the communication response would be special signals or codes, this is another important tool that can be used in crisis response plans. By the school staff utilizing this technique the chain of command would let the staff and students know that everything is fine and they could go back to work as

As an official I use a S.W.O.T analyses of our event, and communicate with the public and the media for a clear and transparent agenda that is safe and organized for the public.

For several years we have had several issues with the increasing number of operating staple of medical training for centuries. Resident physicians routinely worked 90–100 hours per week, for up to 36 consecutive hours without rest, for the entire duration of residency training. (Dhruv Khullar, 2017) A surgical resident working that many hours puts our facility at a great risk for human error, which in this case is resulting in operating room deaths. We are now experiencing an internal crisis, which is an event that is isolated within a facility.

Life is full of unexpected disasters as well as calculated ones. As a whole, society cannot account for all disasters that will occur nor can we successful eliminate the results of these disasters. That’s why in most advanced societies there are people in place to manage and or monitor natural disasters. These people are in charge of the planning process and execution of emergency management systems or operations. They are essentially the people responsible for ensuring that when a disaster whether natural or acts of fate occur the effect on the community or society as whole is minimal. The emergency manager or planner is to follow a strategic planning process that encompasses a variety of aspects including but not limited to a

As global climate continues to change, emergency managers must prepare communities around the world for frequent catastrophic focusing events. Specific disasters vary from location to location; consequently, many emergency preparedness plans in many jurisdictions are ineffective. As a result, government officials and emergency managers under evaluate and wrongly assess areas of vulnerability. I present some of the special needs groups that emergency managers can include in vulnerability assessments. Lastly, I explain how emergency managers can collect resources to create concrete assessments for responding effectively to vulnerable populations before and after disasters.

In 2003, members of the Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), released a report indicating that the current landscape of the sports media world was “shamelessly one-sided reporting, obvious speculation, and bald editorializing” (Onion, 2003, para 2). The 255 page report goes on to discuss how hometown newspapers and media outlets often times had positive images with the team in a moment of glory and the columns would overplay the wins and downplay the losses. The FAIR report (2003) describes the current state of sports journalism as irresponsible and pervasive, which goes against all of the ethics in balanced journalism. The statements above indicate that sport journalist have become puppets for their local teams. This movement has decreased the credibility of many sport reporters to the point that many fans may not even believe what the journalist is reporting. There are many reasons for this biasedness and it does not seem like there will be an end.

An effective crisis management response plan outlines specific procedures for administrator, teachers, and students during evacuation emergencies. Administrators work with teachers, students, parents, law enforcement officers, business and community members, to develop an effective emergency and crises plan. The administrator provides leadership in developing and monitoring the school safety plan and also establishes procedures for emergency evacuation and crisis management at different stages of the plan. However, an effective leader develops a comprehensive prevention education plan, and regularly reviews the code of conduct manual for revisions and current laws.

What is a crisis management? It is an unexpected crisis that happens on the company that will affect the trust and loyalty of the stakeholder. It can be extremely costly because it will affect the company reputation and brand. For example like financial failure from poor business management, workplace violence, fires, cybercrime, computer viruses, product tampering or union strikes and other external issue like damaged economy that causes from London bombings, terrorists attacks on 11 September and others. The SHRM 2005 report indicates that only 56% organizations created or revised their disaster preparedness plans but 45% did not after the terrorist attacked on

Media relations can be defined as one of the most significant areas of the practice of public relations. (Shaw&White, 2004) It enhances the practice of public relations by serving a systematic, strategized and mutually beneficial relationship between journalists and the public relations practitioners to build credibility, understanding and respect between the two parties. (Supa&Zoch, 2009) It is essential to cultivate a positive and healthy relationship between public relations practitioners and journalists because journalists tend to look at public relations practitioners in a negative way where they believe that they spin information to get free publicity which making it difficult for journalists to report legitimate news and at the same time, against the basic rules of news writing. (Fedler and DeLorme, 2002) Another study by Kiranjit and Halimahton (2006) also suggests that public relations practitioners and journalists are very much sceptical about each other’s role and the relationship between two of them is doubtful and uncertain. From the point of view of public relations practitioners, they complaint that journalists do not understand the role of public relations. On the other side, journalists tend to think that public relations

The response to any emergency is considered to be very critical and therefore should be as efficient as possible. In the healthcare sector, responses to situations are counted by the seconds. From natural disasters to epidemics, the only chance left to respond to any of this occurrence could only be counted in seconds. That means life is either saved or lost in a matter of seconds. Putting in place certain responses to these unexpected occurrences, such as crises management communication plan, help save lives and arrest crises from aggravating. Failure to have crises management communication plan is considered by many commentators to be a crisis in itself. Accepted medical care is highly dependent on effective communication between healthcare providers and the patients; among healthcare providers and the outside world. The characteristics of crises make it necessary for prior planning and effective communication among stakeholders in the health sector (Klaene and Sanders, 2006; Ronen, 2006).

Here is the final version of the crisis management strategy report which was commissioned by yourself on Monday 5 May 2014.
