CRISIS MANAGEMENT

Fda Is Your Trusted Resource Crisis Management

Handling any crisis can quickly become quite strenuous, but proper guidance can help ease that. Knowing how to respond is vital when you are called upon for a quote, information or interview. The FDA public relations team can help prep you for the call with policy information and media dos and don’ts. Social media can also bring about its own crisis. Unfortunately, receiving a negative review or post from a current or past patient can happen. Before you respond, remember the FDA is here for you.

It is key for any incident that may take place to know the best way to handle it. The FDA’s public relations team can help! For resources or more information, contact Director of Communications and Marketing Renee Thompson at 850.681.3629 or rthompson@floridadental.org
