This project is the creation of a crisis management plan (CMP). A CMP is a living document that is updated regularly as society, technology, culture, and organizations change. For example, in 1990, K–12 schools and universities would not have listed “school shootings” at the top of the list of possible threats to their organizations, if they considered school shootings at all. In 1999, Columbine gh School experienced the worst high school shooting in U.S. history, and everything changed. Today, any educational institution that does not have a CMP that includes training for prevention, preparation, response, recovery, and mitigation of school shootings would be considered negligent in their responsibilities to their internal and external stakeholders. To address crises, emergencies, and other threatening incidents, a CMP should be developed. This plan is created and updated by the crisis management team. The CMP typically lists the possible threats to an organization, the procedures to be implemented in the event of a crisis, and the internal and external stakeholders who are key to successful crisis management. If you are pursuing a career in crisis leadership, crisis management, crisis communication, emergency preparedness, or related fields, the development of a CMP is a necessary and vital skill. Therefore, for this project, you will develop a CMP for a chosen real-world organization that does not currently have one in place. Your CMP will include an analysis of the threat(s) to the organization, recommendations of appro

priate strategies to respond to the threat(s), and a plan for the organization to resume operations after the potential crisis. In addition, your CMP will include an explanation of how the plan will be evaluated, should the potential crisis occur. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes: Prompt The crisis management plan should answer the following prompt: Imagine that you are a member of a crisis management team charged with developing a crisis management plan for a potential crisis. You must select an organization that does not currently have a CMP in place and determine the potential threat(s) to the organization and appropriate strategies to respond to the threat(s). Then, you will develop a plan for the organization to respond to the potential crisis and to resume operations after the crisis. In addition, you will describe how the CMP will be evaluated, should the potential crisis occur. Specifically, the following must be addressed: The crisis management plan should adhere to the following formatting requirements: 12–17 pages, double-spaced, using 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch margins. Use current APA-style guidelines for your citations and reference list. The crisis management plan should include a cover page and a reference list, and you could also consider including an acknowledgements page and a proprietary information page. See the sample crisis management plans in the course resources and use those as examples for formatting. Purchase the answer to view it
