- Thanks Renee. Widespread loss and disruption from storms, such as Hurricane’s Katrina and Rita make it a challenge to communicate using traditional methods The recent tragedy at Virginia Tech showed us that stakeholders are hungry for information and are likely to turn to the Internet for immediate news and information when it isn’t readily available from the source An effective and modern crisis communication plan can assist the Frost communication team to provide responsive, accurate and up-to-date information to important stakeholders and to receive their input in return. The Frost Crisis Communication Plan will allow Frost to become the authoritative source of information against which other accounts and conflicting information are tested To achieve this, the Frost communication team has been considering an Interactive Communications Platform to get accurate and up-to-date information out to Frost employees, customers, shareholders, the community Such a platform would effectively open up a two-way conduit of communication with Frost’s most critical stakeholders
