  • {{crisis_scenario}}: The specific emergency or potential risk you want to plan for (e.g., technical failure, weather, speaker cancellation).
  • {{stakeholders}}: Key people to communicate with (attendees, staff, sponsors, media).
  • {{existing_plans}}: Any current contingency plans or protocols in place.

Instructions

  2. Assess the crisis scenario and outline immediate actions to ensure safety and minimize disruption.
  3. Develop a step-by-step crisis response plan, including roles and responsibilities for staff.
  4. Draft communication templates for different audiences (attendees, staff, media) that are transparent and reassuring.
  5. Recommend communication channels to prioritize during the crisis (e.g., social media, email, on-site announcements).
  6. Suggest a post-crisis evaluation process to learn and improve.

Output format A crisis management plan with sections: Immediate Actions, Communication Templates, Staff Roles, and Post-Crisis Review. Use numbered steps and bullet points for clarity.

Guardrails

  • Do not assume the severity of the crisis; ask for details if unclear.
  • Ensure all communication templates are adaptable and not overly specific to unverified facts.
