Crisis Communication Discussion Question: How Long Should the Plan Be?

By Gerard Braud –

This week we are posing a question for corporate communications, public relations, and crisis communications experts. The question is, “How long should a crisis communication plan be?” There are plenty of crisis plans available on the internet. Is a six page crisis management plan long enough to  communicate effectively on your darkest day? How can you tell if a plan is detailed and thorough enough to walk you through the steps of managing your crisis?

Please weigh in and join our weekly discussions by posting here on the blog, on social media or on today’s YouTube video. Later this week I am sharing your expert tips as well as my own opinion in another video. Don’t forget to subscribe to the weekly question on the BraudCast YouTube Channel to participate.
