Связи с общественностью в кризисных ситуациях
Иногда возникают катастрофические ситуации, требующие немедленных и эффективных действий, подобных применению пожарной машины или спасательной шлюпки при сигнале SOS. Этот тип деятельности паблик рилейшнз называется «экстремальные связи с общественностью» или «кризисное управление». Такие ситуации могут возникнуть в результате катастроф, подобных случившейся в Чернобыле. Другие проблемы могут возникнуть вследствие насильственного поглощения компании или финансового краха.
Успешное кризисное управление зависит от трех ключевых элементов:
1. Согласованная политика компании по управлению в экстремальной ситуации.
2. Проверенные средства связи, приспособления и оборудование.
3. Ключевой персонал, прошедший подготовку, необходимую для принятия немедленных мер в случае серьезной аварии; его представители будут выступать от имени компании на пресс-конференциях, телевидении или говорить по телефону.
Политика компании
Без полной оценки высшим руководством важности кризисного плана крайне сложно, если вообще возможно, составить всестороннюю программу по паблик рилейшнз и подготовить персонал, способный осуществить ее.
Средства связи
Начать следует с подготовки ключевого персонала в вашей собственной компании. В этот курс подготовки должны входить занятия по ведению телефонных переговоров, выступлениям на радио, практические занятия по участию в телевизионных интервью. Подготовленному таким образом персоналу потребуются надежные средства связи: телефон, телекс и. т д. Обычные средства в кризисной ситуации могут оказаться бесполезными.
Ключевой персонал
Катастрофы могут происходить в любое время суток, поэтому ключевой персонал должен находиться в готовности все 24 часа в сутки. Это значит, что должно быть несколько групп, дежуря in их по графику.
Действия в экстремальной ситуации
В кризисной ситуации важными факторами являются: немедленная реакция, обеспечение средств массовой информации точными сведениями, наличие всей технической информации, любые возможные действия в интересах пострадавших и их родственников.

4. An offer to supply or help secure all needed statistics, quotes, interviews wit h credible resources, arrangements for photos, and so on.
5. An indication of authority or credibility.
6. An offer to call the editor soon to get a decision.
Inherent in all this advice is doing your homework. To write a good pitch letter, you also have to be familiar with the medium, the subjects it features, and how they are covered.
