Organizations should have a crisis communication plan in place, as it helps them respond promptly and with a good strategy during a crisis. In my crisis communication class, we were asked to write a crisis management plan for the University of San Francisco; we were each asked to choose a topic and write a crisis plan. The issue I decided on for my crisis management plan for the University of San Francisco was sexual abuse and violence on campus. I chose this topic because this is a serious issue faced by institutions like universities these days, and it is essential to have effective protocols in place in the case of a crisis.
