Crisis Holding Statement Draft
In the first 60 minutes of a crisis, you need clear words even when facts are still incomplete. I’ll draft a calm, professional holding statement you can release quickly while you investigate and prepare fuller communication.
What you get
• 1 crisis “holding statement” of around 150–250 words
• Language that acknowledges the issue, shows empathy and avoids legal overreach
• 2–3 variable sections you can adapt as new verified facts emerge
• 3–5 key messages for spokespeople to repeat in early conversations
• Short internal note explaining when to use the statement and when to switch to a full response
How it works
• You outline the scenario, known facts, stakeholders and legal boundaries
• I review any previous statements, policies or regulatory guidance you provide
• I draft the holding statement and message set within an agreed rapid timeframe
• You review with legal and leadership, request adjustments and approve
• You release the statement through chosen channels while continuing your investigation
