... the inevitable crises. Recent surveys show that fewer than half the Fortune 1,000 companies have either crisis management staff or even a plan in place' thus emphasizing the serious magnitude of this risk management program void. This critical situation concerning the missing Crisis Management Plan segment must be rectified. (Quote from Ian I. Mitroff, Ph.D., School of Business Administration at the University of Southern California.) 1.5 Lack of Industry Stakeholder Awareness Following are typical risk and insurance management industry stakeholders who, all too often do not include the illusive Crisis Management Plan segment as an integral part of their risk and insurance management considerations: Risk Managers and Chief Financial Officers Frequently do not have formulated emergency plan involving a detailed response action plan and documented evidence of pre-and-post incident strategic planning. Insurance Brokerage Firms ... Management Plan objectives interface with the identified needs of the operating entity and involve a broad focus encompassing life safety, business impact analysis, pre-loss planning, post-loss recovery, asset conservation, operational continuity, legal compliance and maintenance of revenue production with the ultimate goal of financial survival. Also of concern are loss exposure perils affecting such issues as life safety including evacuation and medical emergency, fire, explosion, earthquake, structural collapse, pollution abatement, flooding, severe weather, workplace violence, civil commotion and bomb threats. In summary, the proposed methodology in a Crisis Management Plan (i.e., Policy Statement, Committee Operation, Manual) generally remains consistent.

... Many smaller markets have only one newspaper, one radio station, and maybe one TV station. The larger the population base, the more difficult it is to get a foot in the door with the various news media and develop relationships-but it's not impossible. Start small: Contact the sources that specifically address your market area. For instance, in Los Angeles, the LA Times covers all of Southern California, and developing a relationship with an editor is nearly impossible. However, this particular newspaper has satellite offices strategically located in regional areas, and it's fairly simple to contact one of these smaller offices. Moreover, competing newspapers may exist for specific areas. If you had an agency in the San Fernando Valley, to continue our example, the LA Daily News would probably be more beneficial than ... participation in special panels or programs, election to office, etc. 4. Commentaries-ranging from letters to the editor to op-ed articles. Many publications accept in-depth commentaries on timely topics and generally position them opposite the editorial page. This type of writing not only reflects your professional opinion on topics of interest but shows you to be an expert. 5. First-hand reports-observations and information on catastrophes (fires, earthquakes, floods, storms) . This is appreciated by the writers and is invaluable for helping you place articles in their publication later. Here's another suggestion about association activities that ought not to be forgotten: Become active in at least one trade association-not just as a member, but as a participant. Take part in the elected or appointed offices. Volunteer for various panels and commissions. All this ...
