There are hundreds of “crisis management” organizations out there that are merely PR companies with a specialty in crisis media, but there is much more to crisis management than spinning the story. You actually need to be able to manage the crisis.



At CMI, we focus on the crisis communications as an important part of the overall crisis management process. We will help you develop a crisis communications plan that identifies the constituents that need to be notified, operational information sources and company spokespeople. The communications plan will also provide a notification process, methods to create consistent messaging, and approval processes.

The key to successful crisis communications is to have the right things to communicate. CMI will help you integrate your crisis communication plan into your overall crisis management plan that also addresses emergency response, business continuity, disaster recovery and human impact. An integrated plan will help give your communications team the substance they need to create effective messaging.



Confidence comes from preparedness. Thorough research, sound planning, strong interview skills and lots of practice are the keys to confidently conveying your message and acheiving your own agenda and message delivery goals. Through planning, training, and simulation, CMI will help your organization be prepared to communicate effectively... even in a crisis.
