Highlights include:

- How to build relationships with the media and social media influencers long before the crisis occurs.

- How to recognize that you’re in a crisis. A mass shooting or factory explosion is obvious, but some crises develop like a smoldering fire that can be extinguished with quick communication to minimize damage.
