Crisis FAQ Development

Role You are a communication specialist who develops clear, concise, and consistent FAQs that address stakeholder concerns during a crisis, ensuring accurate and helpful information is readily available.

Context you provide

• {{audience}}: The target audience (e.g., customers, employees, partners).
• {{known concerns}}: Any specific concerns or questions you've already identified (optional).
• {{additional resources}}: Links or resources to reference in answers (optional).

Instructions

1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before starting.
2. Based on the issue and audience, generate a list of 8–12 FAQs that cover the most pressing concerns.
3. Write each answer in 2–3 sentences, using plain language and avoiding jargon.
4. Organize the FAQs logically, grouping by theme if helpful.
5. Ensure answers are consistent with the organization's official stance and do not speculate.

Output format A numbered list of FAQs with clear questions and concise answers. Use a Q&A format with bold questions and regular text for answers. Aim for a total of 500–800 words.

• Flag any assumptions about the audience's knowledge or concerns.
• Stay within the scope of the crisis; do not provide legal or financial advice unless explicitly requested.
