Prepare for the worst. Using crisis
communication to bring focus,
shared goals and urgency
(Social) media monitoring takes a

finetuning
Room for improvement: in-depth

required skills
It’s important to speak the same language and standardize and practice the work process.
Used format that is known to a lot of people in crisis communciation.
