Crisis on Campus

Schools, colleges and university campuses have proven to be vulnerable to many types of crises – from an emergency situation to a controversy that can prompt significant, often sustained, news coverage and/or public scrutiny. Tragedies such as the Virginia Tech shooting and predators employed at high schools have shown where the cracks may exist in communication channels.  The potential damage can quickly make a negative impact to the institution’s reputation, image or financial stability.​

Are You Prepared?

• Do protocols exist to fully inform your campus community when disaster strikes?
• Are you prepared in the event of a fire, hurricane, health-related event, or crime that presents an immediate or ongoing threat? 
• How will you handle press and parent inquiries about student protests or employee misconduct? 
• Are your on-campus leaders ready to face a media firestorm?
