Pre-Crisis Planning, Communication, and Management: Preparing for the Inevitable

Communications scholars who specialize in emergency communication explore applying theory to pre-crisis planning, integrating risk communication into pre-crisis planning, and managing diversity in crisis. Among their topics are the need for an anticipatory perspective in crisis communication, the ethical challenges, toward a revised synthesis model in managing crises, a multicultural perspective on Shell and the Ogoni people of Nigeria, and pre-crisis preparation that is sensitive to diverse populations.
