Crisis Communications Management & Risk Planning

No one is immune to a crisis. It’s how you respond that counts.

It’s a question of when.To launch an effective communications response, you need expert counsel, an actionable crisis communications plan, and foundational principles and values that guide your every move. Berg & Associates brings the experience and tools that will help you emerge from a crisis even stronger.

Berg & Associates’ founder Shannon Berg, APR, has earned Crisis Management & Business Resiliency certification from MIT, Crisis Communications Masters Class certification from the Public Relations Society of America, and FEMA certification in Early Terrorism Warning and Municipal Response.
