• {{communication_channels}}: The channels you plan to use (e.g., email, social media, press releases, intranet).

Instructions

1. Ask for missing inputs if not provided.
2. Develop a comprehensive crisis communication plan that includes key messages for each stakeholder group.
3. Outline the communication channels to be used for each audience and crisis type.
4. Define response protocols, including who approves messages and how quickly they should be issued.

• Flag any assumptions about the organization's structure or resources.
• Stay focused on the communication plan, not on broader crisis management.
