WHAT IS A CRISIS?

A crisis is a significant unexpected disruptive event that affects an
organization’s Personnel, Facilities, Information Systems, or Critical Records,
which in turn creates uncertainty and may dramatically impact profitability,
reputation, or ability to operate normally if not handled in an appropriate
manner. The event could be large or small in nature, internal or external to the
organization, and could be a natural disaster or human in origin. In addition,
often stimulates extensive news and media coverage. Public scrutiny resulting
from the disruption/event will affect the organization’s normal operations and
also could have a legal, financial, political and governmental impact on its
business. As well, depending upon the industry and whether the organization is
publicly traded, there are specific laws that dictate how an organization must
conduct itself in notifying stakeholders and the public of a crisis. The laws
have penalties for non-compliance, which may include levied fines and legal
action with the possibility of incarceration.


WHAT IS A CRISIS MANAGEMENT PLAN?

A Crisis Management Plan is the communications and decision-making component of
an overall Business Continuity Plan (BCP). A thorough Crisis Management Plan
facilitates rapid communication to ensure overall safety to both internal and
external stakeholders. As well, it incorporates policies and procedures to
perform an impact assessment, and a plan to control media interaction during an
event or crisis.


WHAT TO CONSIDER IN CRISIS MANAGEMENT PLANNING

Every organizations crisis management requirements will vary. The key to Crisis
Management Planning is to have a set of processes and procedures to be used as a
guideline for crisis management. Pre-developed crisis management plans and
associated activities enable executives to effectively address a worst case or
long-term crisis. Specifically, organizational Crisis Management Planning should
focus on:

 * Identification of the crisis management team (and others who might assist the
   team in certain situations)
 * Predefined organizational responsibilities for the crisis management team
   members that include concise procedures defining a person’s functions, duties
   and tasks for a crisis declaration
 * Sub- team composition and a notification process to bring together the
   appropriate internal and external individuals and organizational disciplines
   at the time of a crisis. (i.e Damage Assessment Team, etc).
 * A process for evaluating the response after the conclusion of any event that
   requires activation of the Corporate Crisis Management Plan and documentation
   of the Lessons learned and applied.
 * Contact lists for all internal and external stakeholders
 * An outline for Executive Managers and their alternates to react on a
   consistent basis to a potential or existing crisis.
 * Identification and establishment of a Crisis Management/Emergency
   Operations Command Center for directing the crisis event coordination with
   effected entities, such as the community, neighboring industries, and
   identified support entities (fire, police, hospitals, etc.)  – This should
   include identification of a primary, secondary and tertiary locations for the
   Command Center in the event of a widespread crisis.
 * The logistical details for notification and mobilization of the Crisis
   Management Centers and supplies/equipment needed, call notification lists and
   instructions, transportation options, identification of external authorities,
   organizations and individuals that may be required to be notified or can
   assist in the Crisis Management  process.
 * Travel logistics, such as a list of company-preferred  hotels, airlines,
   rental cars companies, and restaurants.
 * Guidelines for communicating to the public and the media, which includes who
   is authorized to represent the organization and what information, can/should
   be shared.    This ensures that communication is accurate and consistent
   throughout all channels.  Note:   Make sure to consider legal liability when
   communicating in a crisis situation.
 * Guidelines for Social Media usage which should outline  policies and
   procedures on utilizing this method and also a plan to  respond if an
   unauthorized individual breaks the news prior to your  release and how you
   manage the situation.
 * Guidelines for communicating crisis situations to both internal and external
   stakeholders.
 * Guidelines to assist in supporting, overseeing and directing activities
   to the internal Business Units, and external business partners/suppliers
   during a disastrous situation.
 * A process for communicating, training, and maintaining the currency of the
   Crisis Management Plan.
 * A process for  testing and verification of the processes contained in the
   Crisis     Management Plan


WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN DECLARING A DISASTER AND ACTIVATING THE CRISIS MANAGEMENT
PLAN

The relative importance of the crisis may vary based on the situation
encountered and significance to the company. A disaster declaration should be
based on the anticipated length of the disruption and the projected impact of
the crisis on the business units involved.

Impacted business units should determine the number of hours that normal
business operations can be interrupted before a disaster must be declared. This
timeframe will vary among business units and is directly tied to the critical
nature of the service being provided. When the period of time that processing
has been interrupted reaches the predetermined threshold, a disaster should be
declared.

Only those who have been authorized to declare a disaster may do so.

Considerations when declaring a disaster:

 * Has there been loss of life?
 * Has or is there expected to be a loss of business or revenue?
 * Have critical applications or information been lost or compromised?
 * Are critical employees unable to perform their functions?
 * Is it expected that financial positions will be threatened?
 * Have services to customers been lost or jeopardized?
 * Have critical communications been lost or compromised?
 * Have physical facilities been lost or has access been prevented?
 * Has power been lost?
 * Has security been lost or jeopardized?
 * Are legal liabilities present?


WHY YOU NEED CRISIS MANAGEMENT PLAN

Someone important in your organization thinks this is covered and that you have
a crisis management plan in place. A Crisis Management Plan as part of an
organizations overall BCP program is imperative for an organization to
seamlessly manage an unexpected event/disaster. Do you have a Crisis Management
Plan to assist your organization?
