How the education sector responds to crises, from accidents involving loss of life, reputational damage, data breaches, to natural disasters, terrorism, and pandemics, is continuously evolving.

Challenges for your university or school during a crisis:

• Real-time video & eyewitness accounts spreading on social media
• Answering thousands of phone, social media and email enquiries from customers, staff, regulators, and the media
• Involvement of multiple parties, including Government agencies
• Lack of resources, especially at the scene
• Managing expectations of distressed families
• Dealing with survivors and/or disrupted classes
• Continuing classes, exams and research
• Personal stress for senior managers and employees, especially at the front line

These challenges can overwhelm the day-to-day operations and the people in your organisation. As world expectations increase, communications and inter-connectivity progresses, it is important that we rethink, reshape and stay abreast of what needs to be done.

GoCrisis provides crisis preparedness and response services to large universities and schools. We support these institutions through a close partnership that involves regular meetings, annual training and a strong global response capability.
