Effective and timely communication is a vital tool during a crisis or emergency condition, and helps to protect life, public safety, and property. The Northern Kentucky Health Department Crisis Communications Plan provides the general framework for the coordination of communications between the organization and its internal and external stakeholders when crisis, emergencies, or controversies threaten employee or public health and safety, private or public property, or the Health Department's operations or reputation.
