Nonprofit Communication During Tragedy and Disaster




501Crossroads show

Summary: In the wake of the horrific shootings at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Marjorie and Natalie take a look at the role of nonprofits when tragedy strikes, whether made by man or mother nature.   We talk about what happens to nonprofits who are first responders or on the front lines of things and those tangentially involved. You'll even hear about those not involved but still part of a grieving public can craft the right messages to express their grief and stand with the community.    You'll hear about who's doing it right and who is doing it wrong and what happens when communities begin to side step nonprofits to give collected funds directly to victims.   We read a lot for this one!  How to Do Disaster Relief Right from Nonprofit Quarterly Guidelines for Giving in a Disaster from the CIDI Senator: Red Cross Misled Congress, Refused To ‘Level With the People’ on Haiti Money $7 Million in Donations to Go Directly to Orlando Kin and Survivors   Three Tips for Managing your Nonprofit's Social Media During a Public Tragedy How to Communicate in the Midst of Tragedy: 9-Step Checklist     Connect with Us!
