HCS 320 Week 5 Communication and Crisis Paper
Read the following scenario:
In 1979, the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor malfunctioned, releasing radiation
into the environment. There were no immediate deaths or injuries resulting from
the incident; however, the accident drew much media attention and created
concerns in the local area and beyond. The major forms of communication used to
report these events were the three major television networks and local radio
stations.
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated the New Orleans area and immersed a significant
part of the city in water. Local citizens and their families were affected. In contrast to the
Three Mile Island incident, newer communication technologies, such as the Internet, were
used to disseminate information.
Today, you are the director of a regional Emergency Management Office. You begin
receiving official reports that the public water supplies of several towns in the area have
become contaminated with a life-threatening biological agent. Contingency plans must be
addressed within the organization and with the public without creating a panic.

you learned from the situations in the scenario and how you might incorporate that
knowledge to improve health care communication strategies
Appropriate technology, such as social media, affecting communication during the
crisis situation and how these technologies may be used to enhance
communication
How technology might be used differently now than it was during the crisis
situations described in the scenario
Media opportunities during this management crisis
