Overview: This paper will help a person to think through elements essential to communicate about avian influenza if the virus strikes the person's country or region, or is spreading. Being prepared for this event is the most important thing a person can do. Crisis Management is based on the disciplines of response, control and decision making, all of which are based on the receipt of timely information and the recognition that there are situations where decision-making must be escalated to higher-levels. Crisis Management is also based on a team approach, eliminating individual decision-making. Stress, chaos and confusion will often exist in an outbreak situation, and this can place an extreme level of pressure on an individual and their ability to make rational, effective and timely decisions.
