The training details the important steps of how to avoid treating
incidents, events, and negative communication coverage as unique
occurrences, but rather as components of a research program’s larger
approach to proactive readiness and communication management.
Using CBRA’s “Ready, Report, Respond” approach, attendees will learn about
building upon the proactive steps of readiness, with effective and critical
security measures and communication, and strategies for responding and
maintaining on-going readiness, messaging, outreach, and training.
Dedicated time will be spent developing the basics of an institutional statement
and boilerplate responses, and practicing responding to questions from the media in
stressful (crisis) situations.
