Please inform Reliant whenever a communication and/or media exposure has occurred.
- Be wise with who you are sharing communication updates.
- Experience teaches us that information can be critical to the success or failure of a crisis event. For the ICMT, outgoing information must be calculated for cost and benefit and should be strictly controlled to reduce the possibilty of secondary crisis such as destructive rumors.
- All information (facts, rumors, reports, news, etc.) related to a crisis event or your field team should be shared with Reliant immediately so that the ICMT can operate with the best, most complete information possible.
- Do not respond to media inquiry related to your field team or Reliant. If solicited, all team members should respond with "no comment" or similar terminology unless given specific authorization by the international crisis manager to share specific information. You should refer the outside party to the International crisis manager if necessary.
