I understand that getting the right people involved is key in surviving a crisis. Who should be involved in preparing for a crisis?
For many nonprofits it makes sense to convene one group to develop a crisis management plan for the organization and a second group that will serve as the nonprofit’s “crisis response team.” The crisis-planning group should be diverse and include people in the organization who fully understand the nonprofit’s risks. For example, if your nonprofit owns a building including the person responsible for maintenance on your crisis planning team can help ensure that building-related hazards that could cause a crisis will be identified and addressed. Including the director of volunteers might enable the team to spot a volunteer-related hazard looming on the horizon.
