Crisis Communications Plan Template
An editable Word framework for roles, incident classification, approvals, notifications, recovery, and testing.
Utility crisis preparedness
A practical, editable working kit for water and wastewater utility teams preparing to make clear public-information decisions before an incident puts the organization under pressure.
Built for actual planning
Not a generic checklist—an editable foundation for your team’s roles, notifications, first messages, and exercises.
What is inside
The kit gives your utility an editable starting point—not a substitute for operations, legal, public-health, or regulatory protocols. Assign local owners, add your contact information, test it against your real scenarios, and revise it after every meaningful exercise or incident.
