Crisis Assessment and Communication Rapid Assessment: As soon as an unexpected event occurs, quickly assess the nature and extent of the disruption. Determine how it impacts your program's operations, staff, resources, and the ability to deliver services to clients.

A lot of companies try to keep clients in the dark about service outages because they incorrectly believe that clients will think worse of the company. Unfortunately, that ship has sailed with this outage. The most important part of service restoration is rebuilding the lost trust between clients and the company, and to that end, clients should be kept in the loop about expected time to remediation and about any non-proprietary attempts to restore service. This trust building will go a long way to prevent clients from churning off a service due to outages.

I stay proactive by having backup plans, like alternative workspaces and contingency procedures. Clear communication with clients and quick problem-solving help ensure minimal disruption.
