18. Some Other Real Life Crises
Event
Overview
Titanic
In 1912, the Titanic, a Trans-Atlantic ship on its maiden voyage, hit an iceberg
and sank. Though some people escaped by lifeboats, there were still 1,502
people killed.
Chernobyl disaster
In 1986, reactor number four at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant located in
the Soviet Union near Pripyat in Ukraine exploded. Large areas in Ukraine,
Belarus, and Russia were badly contaminated, resulting in the evacuation and
resettlement of over 336,000 people.
Exxon Valdez oil spill
In 1989, the Exxon Valdez oil tanker ran aground, spilling 250,000 barrels, an
amount equal to more than 10 million gallons, of oil into Alaska's Prince
William Sound. Efforts to contain the spill were slow and Exxon's response
was even slower.
Halifax Explosion
In 1917, in the harbor of Halifax in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, the
Mont Blanc, a French munitions ship, explodes 20 minutes after colliding with
another vessel. The massive explosion killed more than 1,800 people, injured
another 9,000--including blinding 200--and destroyed almost the entire north
end of the city of Halifax, including more than 1,600 homes.
Banqiao Dam Collapse
In 1975, catastrophic dam failure in western Henan province, China, caused by
a typhoon (tropical cyclone) caused more than 150,000 casualties, making it
one of the deadliest typhoon disasters in history.
Bradford City Stadium Fire
In 1985, the worst fire disaster in the history of British football occurred during
a league match in front of record numbers of spectators killing 56 and injuring
at least 265.

19. What can we do differently?
Minimize impact
by preventing
crisis situations
from arising
Plan response
and recovery
activities.
Rehearse and
keep the
organization
prepared if crisis
situations arise.
Deal with the
crisis in the
shortest time
possible, and so
minimize impact

20. Crisis Management
• Proactively identification
• Preparation
• Effective response
• Restoring business as usual
• Plugging gaps which triggered the
crisis
• Incorporating learning outcomes
© Continuity and Resilience – Copyright 2013

21. What are we dealing with?
• Complex and dynamic systems
• Emerging risk and human actions
• Uncertainties – challenges of managing
the unknown or unexpected

the concept of ― Resilience‖
Resilience is
the capability
of a social
system

22. Planning helps in:
• Preparing crisis plans in advance and ensuring that an
organization is appropriately prepared for a crisis.
• Rehearsing a crisis plan by crisis management teams via a
simulated scenario to use as a drill.
• Indicating how quickly each function should be performed as
the first hours after a crisis breaks are the most crucial.
• Preparing crisis communication statement for external and
internal stakeholders.
• Including information and guidance in the contingency plan
pertaining to short-term consequences and long-term effects
to help decision makers.

• The diagnosis helps in assessing company‗s
state, define the symptoms of the problem and
features of the potential crisis.
• Diagnosis helps management in fixing threshold
for showing the uncomplimentary results
determining crisis situation appearance.
• The earlier crisis is diagnosed, the faster
particular anti-crisis means are chosen and the
loss is smaller.

31. Preparation and Prevention
• Pre crisis preparation involves planning and
creation of structures to deliver a crisis response.
• Implementation of a programme of training and
exercising.
• It is during this stage that crisis handlers begin
preparing for or averting the crisis that had been
foreshadowed in the signal detection stage.

32. Containment & Damage Control
• The goal is to limit the reputational, financial,
safety, and other threats to firm survival.
• Bring the crisis to an end as quickly as possible
to limit the negative publicity to the organization
• Early containment of Crisis helps to move
into the business recovery phase.
• Corrective & preventive actions to preclude the
recurrence similar crisis situation and business
recovery actions to restore public confidence

33. Business Recovery
•
Post crisis focus should be on rebuilding, which can be time-consuming and
expensive.
•
Organization has to make adequate financial arrangements beforehand,
should there be a threat of any such crisis occurring.
•
All damages and losses should be accounted for in detail, with photographs
and/or video proof maintained along with them.
•
Having an effective crisis management plan helps the organization or the
entity get back to normal without losing too much time or money.
•
Once the crisis has passed, it is very important to review the effectiveness of
the crisis management plan to correct any shortcomings.

Tylenol (Johnson and Johnson)
•
In the fall of 1982, a murderer added 65 milligrams of
cyanide to some Tylenol capsules on store shelves, killing
seven people, including three in one family.
•
Johnson & Johnson recalled and destroyed 31 million
capsules at a cost of $100 million.
•
The affable CEO, James Burke, appeared in television ads
and at news conferences informing consumers of the
company's actions.
•
Tamper-resistant packaging was rapidly introduced, and
Tylenol sales swiftly bounced back to near pre-crisis
levels.
•
When another bottle of tainted Tylenol was discovered in
a store, it took only a matter of minutes for the
manufacturer to issue a nationwide warning that people
should not use the medication in its capsule form.

Mattel

•
Mattel Inc., the toy maker, has been plagued with
more than 28 product recalls and in Summer of 2007,
amongst problems with exports from China, faced
two product recalls in two weeks.
The company "did everything it could to get its
message out, earning high marks from consumers
and retailers.
Though upset by the situation, they were
appreciative of the company's response.
At Mattel, just after the 7 a.m. recall announcement
by federal officials, a public relations staff of 16 was
set to call reporters at the 40 biggest media outlets.
They told each to check their e-mail for a news
release outlining the recalls, invited them to a
teleconference call with executives and scheduled TV
appearances or phone conversations with Mattel's
chief executive.
The Mattel CEO Robert Eckert did 14 TV interviews on
a Tuesday in August and about 20 calls with
individual reporters. By the week's end, Mattel had
responded to more than 300 media inquiries in the
U.S. alone."

51. Successful Crisis Management
Pepsi
•
The Pepsi Corporation faced a crisis in 1993 which started
with claims of syringes being found in cans of diet Pepsi.
•
Pepsi urged stores not to remove the product from shelves
while it had the cans and the situation investigated.
•
This led to an arrest, which Pepsi made public and then
followed with their first video news release, showing the
production process to demonstrate that such tampering was
impossible within their factories.
•
A second video news release displayed the man arrested.
•
A third video news release showed surveillance from
a convenience store where a woman was caught replicating
the tampering incident.
•
The company simultaneously publicly worked with the FDA
during the crisis.
•
The corporation was completely open with the public
throughout, and every employee of Pepsi was kept aware of
the details.
•
This made public communications effective throughout the
crisis.
•
After the crisis had been resolved, the corporation ran a
series of special campaigns designed to thank the public for
standing by the corporation, along with coupons for further
compensation. This case served as a design for how to
handle other crisis situations.

52. Unsuccessful Crisis Management
Exxon
•
On March 24, 1989, a tanker belonging to
the Exxon Corporation ran aground in the Prince William
Sound in Alaska.
•
The Exxon Valdez spilled millions of gallons of crude oil into
the waters off Valdez, killing thousands of fish, fowl, and sea
otters.
•
Hundreds of miles of coastline were polluted and salmon
spawning runs disrupted; numerous fishermen, especially
Native Americans, lost their livelihoods.
•
Exxon, by contrast, did not react quickly in terms of dealing
with the media and the public; the CEO, Lawrence Rawl, did
not become an active part of the public relations effort and
actually shunned public involvement;
•
The company had neither a communication plan nor a
communication team in place to handle the event—in fact,
the company did not appoint a public relations manager to
its management team until 1993, 4 years after the incident;
•
Exxon established its media center in Valdez, a location too
small and too remote to handle the onslaught of media
attention; and the company acted defensively in its response
to its publics, even laying blame, at times, on other groups
such as the Coast Guard.
•
These responses also happened within days of the incident.
