- AppliedThe crisis communication checklist: prepare, respond, recoverWhat to have ready before a crisis, what to do in the first hours, and how to recover and learn after it: the crisis team, stakeholder map, holding statements and approvals; verified facts, one voice and regular updates; and an after-action review. After CIPR, PRSA and UK Government Communication Service guidance, Coombs's situational crisis communication theory and ISO 22361.

After AMEC's Integrated Evaluation Framework and the Barcelona Principles.
