Crisis Ahead: 101 Ways to Prepare for and Bounce Back from Disasters, Scandals and Other Emergencies

Three Key Questions
How many splashy scandals and crisis situations have befallen companies and public figures in the past week alone? How did the organizations and people at the center of those crises manage the situation? Did they survive with their reputations intact or are they facing an ongoing public nightmare that keeps building on itself in the era of social media?

When, Not If, a Crisis Will Hit
This new book from veteran public relations expert Edward Segal is based on the following premise: it's not a matter of IF a scandal or crisis will hit, it's WHEN. How a company deals with it will have lasting impact on their reputation, profits, and more. But for most organizations, when a crisis hits, they're caught off guard and ill-prepared.

The Coronavirus Pandemic
Crisis Ahead includes a discussion of the early crisis management lessons that can be learned from how the government is responding to the pandemic national health emergency and advice on to deliver bad news to employees about the impact the pandemic is having on companies and organizations.

Test Your Crisis Plan
While essential, crisis plans are worthless unless properly executed, as the stories and examples featured throughout Crisis Ready attest. Edward Segal's vivid and memorable accounts underscore the benefits of practicing and updating crisis plans at least once a year. The book also provides a template for creating a customizable crisis management plan.
