Why should a nonprofit have a crisis management plan?
A nonprofit, like any other organization, should have a written crisis management plan to provide directions for staff and volunteers on how to respond to emergencies. Crises might involve natural disasters, personal injury, loss of life, accidents, fire, acts of terrorism, or interruption of programs and services. A carefully laid out plan and a crisis management team of key staff volunteers can ensure the organization responds efficiently and effectively during crises.
