@ReneeRalph5 It is very important for an organization to have a crisis manual so that employees will know what to do in terms of crisis. Having a manual will save time for organizations because of the manual addressing all the information & solution #CURTINTMSChat

@ReneeRalph5 Yes. It is important to debrief and evaluate after a crisis situation. This is will help in understanding the what, why, how, when, & where things go wrong. Thus, allowing them to configure better strategies for the future & preventing the same issue to arise again #CurtinTMSChat
@ReneeRalph5 No. Different social media platforms offer various ways of writing & engaging to their audience. So the best way to effectively communicate & diminish the problem is by having 2-way communication & no other parties included. #curtintmschat
@ReneeRalph5 Agree. As mentioned before, transparency in your organization amongst yourself, employees, and stakeholders are crucial as it will enable you to mitigate & dismiss the matter in a timely manner. #curtintmschat
@ReneeRalph5 address the fundamental problem, assist & care to those affected, turn off social media updates, inform & involve employees, two-way comm between those that are indirectly affected & manage the flow of media & other channels. #curtintmschat
@ReneeRalph5 1. Always address the matter
