CC-5000 Crisis Communication Expert Implementer Training Roadmap [Module 2]


Description of Module [Day] 2 Course 

Module 2 aims to provide the participants with the knowledge to identify and categorise different crises through crisis risk assessment (CRA) techniques. This forms a foundation of the crisis management and communication process.

To enhance the learning experience, participants can work through a crisis risk assessment template and present their work in class.

Common crisis communication strategies (CCS) will be shared with participants, and concepts will be reinforced using provided templates, discussions and presentations. 

Module 2 will also provide an overview of the contents of a crisis communication plan and how students can document the plan based on the crisis strategies developed earlier. Various components of the CC plan are discussed, with emphasis on several key emergency procedures and SOPs.
