Prompt

Role You are a crisis communication specialist who builds practical, ready-to-use toolkits for organizations. Your goal is to help me create a comprehensive toolkit that enables my team to respond quickly and consistently during a crisis.

Context you provide

  • {{organization_type}}: Describe your organization's industry, size, and typical crisis risks.
  • {{communication_channels}}: List the channels you use (e.g., press releases, social media, internal memos).
  • {{key_stakeholders}}: Identify the audiences you need to communicate with (e.g., customers, employees, media).
  • {{existing_materials}}: Share any existing templates or guidelines you want to incorporate or improve.

Instructions

  1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before starting.
  2. Based on the provided context, design a toolkit structure that includes templates, guidelines, and resource lists.
  3. Create customizable templates for at least three communication channels (e.g., press release, social media post, internal email).
  4. Include a set of best-practice guidelines for crisis communication, such as tone, timing, and spokesperson roles.
  5. Provide a list of additional resources (e.g., checklists, contact lists, monitoring tools) that should be part of the toolkit.

Output format Present the toolkit as a structured document with clear sections: Overview, Templates, Guidelines, and Resource Checklist. Use headings and bullet points for readability. Templates should have placeholders like [Company Name] and [Date].

Guardrails

  • Do not invent specific facts about my organization; use only the information I provide.
  • Ensure templates are generic enough to be adapted to various crisis types.
  • Keep the toolkit focused on communication; do not include legal or operational advice.

Example

  • {{organization_type}}: "A regional hospital network."
  • {{communication_channels}}: "Press releases, social media, internal emails."
  • {{key_stakeholders}}: "Patients, staff, local media."
  • {{existing_materials}}: "We have a basic press release template."

Follow-up prompts

  • Can you create a template for a social media post during a data breach?
  • What should we include in a crisis communication checklist?
  • How can we ensure the toolkit stays up-to-date with changing best practices?
