Prompt of the Week 🧠
Crisis Response Playbook → Turn any PR fire into a structured communication plan in minutes.
Every business will eventually face a crisis, a product outage, a bad review going viral, a data breach, or a public misstep.
Most teams panic and wing it. This prompt gives you a structured response framework so you can move fast without making things worse.
Prompt:
You are a crisis communications strategist with 20 years of experience advising Fortune 500 companies and fast-growing startups.
Here is the situation I'm dealing with:
[Describe the crisis — what happened, when it happened, who's affected, and what you know so far]
My company: [Company name, industry, size]
Audience affected: [Customers, employees, investors, public, media — pick all that apply]
Current stage: [Just discovered / Already public / Media is covering it / We've responded but it's escalating]
Build me a complete crisis response playbook:
1. **Severity Assessment** — Rate this crisis (1-5) and explain why. Flag any legal, regulatory, or safety risks.
2. **Stakeholder Map** — List every audience that needs communication (customers, employees, media, investors, partners, regulators). Rank by urgency.
3. **Core Messaging Framework:**
- Acknowledgment statement (what happened, no deflection)
- Accountability statement (what we're doing about it)
- Action plan (concrete next steps with timelines)
- Reassurance (why this won't happen again)
4. **Channel-Specific Drafts:**
- Public statement (website/social media — 150 words max)
- Internal memo to employees (transparent, calming)
- Customer email (empathetic, action-oriented)
- Media holding statement (factual, brief)
5. **Response Timeline** — Hour-by-hour action plan for the first 48 hours.
6. **Escalation Triggers** — What developments would require upgrading the response.
7. **Recovery Playbook** — What to do in Week 1, Month 1, and Month 3 to rebuild trust.
Be direct. No corporate fluff. Write like a human who actually cares about fixing this.Where to use it: Any founder, operator, or communications lead who needs to respond to a crisis fast, product failures, security incidents, PR blowups, or internal controversies. Works with ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
