Questions:
Crisis situation
Discuss an event in the news some time during the past several years in which leaders were asked questions and had to respond with crisis communication strategies. These are often weather related (e.g., floods, fires, other disasters) but can also be crime- or corruption-related stories that are in the media. If necessary, do Internet searches to refresh your memory or find out more about the ways in which the leader(s) communicated during your selected event.
Describe the crisis situation.
Assess the use of crisis communication strategies by the leaders.
Which strategies were implemented? How well were these implemented? What strategies do you think they could have adopted to handle this situation better?
