5-Minute Message: Communication – WHAT You Should Communicate

Once you know WHO you should communicate with, and HOW you are going to get your message out, it is important to know WHAT to communicate. Some of the important messages to communicate will include, but are not limited to:

  • A report on your agency’s operational status
  • An assessment of any resulting damage to your facility
  • What services are offered and whether changes in offering these services has occurred
  • The necessary funds required by your agency
  • Whether volunteers are needed and for what purpose
  • The hours of operation for your business
  • The  safety of your staff, volunteers, consumers
  • Your agency wishlist
  • Any other additional needs

Tips:  Create templates for basic messages so that you’ll be able to edit it and release your message quickly.

The American Red Cross

On August 22nd, 1881, the first local chapter of the American Red Cross was formed in Dansville, N.Y. In 1905 — with 18 chapters — they were issued a U.S. Congressional Charter, under which they still operate. By the end of World War 1 in 1918, the American Red Cross had grown to over 3,800 chapters, and the International Red Cross had won a Nobel Peace Prize. Most recently they have consolidated to 760 chapters in the U.S. and they offer a great number of programs, services and classes. Find your local chapter by visiting www.redcross.org. Learn about the programs and resources they provide in your community; what they are not permitted to provide; and how to take part in such opportunities as disaster assistance, training, etc. For more on the history of their chapter system, visit http://snipurl.com/arcchapters.
