In an increasingly unpredictable world, it is essential that managers have the theoretical and practical tools for dealing with crises and disasters. No two disasters are the same. However, it is possible to identify common features of, as well as the mechanisms needed to deal with, a variety of potential disasters.

This book is a practical step by step guide to managing crisis situations in the work environment, with a strong emphasis on communications.
