Here's how you can effectively communicate during a crisis or emergency situation using social media.

Failing to plan is planning to fail." – Benjamin Franklin. Method: Develop a proactive communication plan. Identify the most effective social media platforms for your audience. Prepare templates for various crises and establish a clear chain of command for posting information. A study by the Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management highlights that pre-planned responses reduce panic and misinformation. Vision: Ensure your messages are consistent and accurate. In a crisis, clear communication is key to maintaining trust and credibility. Pragmatism: By planning ahead, you save time and ensure your brand responds effectively to emergencies, enhancing your reputation and reliability.

Always - and I mean always - discuss PR problems that may arise with a brand's communication or product strategies during onboarding. Develop a Community Management document that walks through a) commonly asked questions and b) possible PR crises and agreed upon responses. It takes more time upfront, but even if there is never a PR crisis, your client/employer will feel that you are well prepared for your role.

Always always always be ready. No one can predict when a crisis situation may happen (these situations are aptly named "crises" for a reason). To start, you need to determine 1) What defines a crisis or emergency situation for your company and what types could you experience. Create a checklist and stick to it. 2) Who needs to be involved from what teams. 3) Response framework + strategies. 4) How to track mentions + conversations.
