Establish a post-crisis communications plan<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nThis will be as important for your organisation as your original crisis communications plan. For a starting point, check out guidance from The PR Cavalry&#8217;s Nigel Sarbutts on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/blog\/generating-fees-from-clients-who-have-paused-activity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">generating leads from clients who have paused activity<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">2.

Review and improve<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nAnalyse your lockdown communications and what you can learn from the experience. What if it happened again: what would you do differently? What positive behaviours do you want to continue?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">6.
