'Kjell Brataas presents his readers with an easy-to-follow guide culled from his own experience and from observing other crisis communications professionals. He stresses the critical importance of keeping up with the ever-evolving media landscape while pointing out that important lessons are to be learned not just from public relations missteps but from those who get it right. Examples of both are included in this well-written book.' - Christine Negroni, author of The Crash Detectives Investigating the World's Most Mysterious Air Disasters `Previously, crisis management instruction was only accessible to a very small and select group of top executives, such as advisors to Prime Ministers, senior UN officials, and airline leaders. This book now makes best practices available for all. Excellent case studies and emergency management concepts can now be made ubiquitous and introduced to any organization willing to prepare its teams for the unexpected.' - Janis Vanags, Senior Manager and IATA Instructor on Emergency Management 'Kjell Brataas does an amazing job of capturing the true meaning of crisis communication through sharing his experiences during the incidents in Norway in 2011. Most interestingly, he discusses something not many emergency managers think about: supporting the family after an event. It was truly remarkable to learn the lengths taken to give the next of kin an experience in memorializing their loved ones. A great read for anyone wanting an in-depth description of how the correct crisis communication procedures can change the outcome of an emergency incident response.' - Lauren Miller, M.S., Emergency Management Specialist
