ONE ORGANIZATION. TWO CRISES. ZERO TIME TO PANIC.

Last month, communicators walked into this:
A ransomware attack delayed county paychecks. Employees wanted answers. The community wanted transparency. And protesters were outside over the county's use of Flock cameras. They were the communications team. They had to decide what to do first.

October brings a brand-new scenario. Same pressure. Different fire.

Real crises don't arrive one at a time. They don't wait for you to finish the statement, they don't hand you all the facts, and they definitely don't care that your plate is already full.

So we don't just talk about crisis communications. We make you practice it.
⏱️ 60 minutes
🔥 Multiple crises
