Another great step on your path to becoming masterful at communicating before, during and after disasters is to flex your communication channels. Create a list of your existing options, so you know HOW to get your message out. Some ideas — telephone, fax, e-mail, cell phone, voice mail, text message, Skype,
website,
blog,
social media, and other online platforms. Remember to flex low-tech options including posting signage, using runners, and distributing handouts. Tip: equip your team with a sustainable no-tech option such as whistles on their keychains.
Create a list of ALL of your available options, with their log-in codes, instructions, or other needed information. Make sure your team knows how to prioritize, and can quickly choose the most appropriate method. Knowing that you can reach your key audiences should decrease anxiety and increase confidence for your team.
