Crisis Communications Drill
Practice the first three hours of public and internal messaging after a disruption — who speaks, what is known, and what waits for confirmation.
Why drill messaging
A polished continuity plan can still stall when nobody knows who tells staff, clients, iwi partners, or the local paper. This drill walks your nominated spokespeople through a realistic first window — incomplete facts, conflicting rumours, and pressure to speak early.
What happens in the room
- Scenario brief drawn from hazards relevant to your region and sector
- Timed decision points for holding statements and staff cascades
- Feedback on tone, accuracy, and escalation to directors
- A one-page messaging checklist you can file with your continuity pack
Good fit when
You already have a draft continuity plan, or you are mid-way through a Continuity Readiness Review and want the communications chapter tested with real voices in the room.
