Crisis Management team

In every organization it is important to have a crisis management team so that it can be able to respond quickly to emergencies. Organizations should have a crisis management team because an emergency can arise at any time so it should be there to tackle any situation anytime. For instance in a case of an emergency other departments will be involved in the aftermath of the emergency-getting plants equipments back online and finding out what went wrong to prevent a recurrence and Public Relations office will be the lead function doing the most important things in the first few minutes. (Saffir and Tarrant 1993, 84) states that Public Relations is the lead function in crisis and the key to crisis management is advance preparation. A crisis plan should be drawn up and distributed to all appropriate people, new people can also be briefed on the crisis plan, and this can help to dispel one of the most persistent notions among corporate types, which is: if you ignore it, it will go (Saffir and Tarrant 1993, 85).
