About the Article
Effective crisis communication is essential for non-profit organizations, community initiatives, and emergency response teams. This Teaching Paper presents a comprehensive framework of core concepts in crisis communication, transforming abstract terminology into practical tools for planning, implementation, and evaluation. Case studies—including a simulated health emergency—illustrate how structured application of these concepts enhances response coordination, maintains trust, and facilitates community engagement. The paper serves as a practical guide for practitioners and a conceptual foundation for academics in crisis management.
