Crisis Readiness Basic to Good PR |

PR projects should always have a crisis component, envisioned and written down in advance. Not because a crisis is inevitable but because, if one occurs, you want to be ready for it. A simple principle, but one that truly needs to be taken seriously. Should a crisis erupt, you don’t want to waste time on “What do we do now?”
These thoughts occur upon viewing Amperage’s spiffy website in Iowa. It contains a post by Mark Mathis of Amperage Marketing on what the city of Dublin, CA, did when it found itself building a long-planned water park during California’s current drought. For one thing, the park is now a “family aquatics center”.
