Communicating Around Disaster: A Crisis Communications Workshop July 2026

This workshop draws on real experiences from:

• July 2025 Kerr County floods
• Uvalde school shooting
• Maine and California wildfires
• Baltimore bridge collapse

Facilitators will walk through a practical framework for building public understanding before a crisis, managing communications in the moment, aligning your internal team, and responding strategically to scrutiny from media. The session is built for community foundation CEOs and executive directors, communications staff, and program and community initiatives leaders. The program will include practical tools you can put to use right away including message maps and decision frameworks.
