Crisis PR is key to a great crisis plan, so make sure your insurance helps you pay for it
When your company is in crisis, you’ll take in many sudden expenses that you’ll have to pay for out of pocket. This can strain budgets that used to be open or push your already tight budget to its limits. One of these expenses includes crisis public relations to manage your reputation in such a trying time. Having insurance help pay for crisis PR is a big help, but can insurance do that?
The answer is yes! Insurance can help cover the costs of getting crisis PR.

In fact, two-thirds of groups that hire us for crisis PR get payments from their insurance for our services.

By having insurance help pay for your crisis PR, you can focus your budget on other parts of crisis management, alleviating a notable burden during a stressful time. Covering crisis PR is also great for the insurance provider since it adds another important reason for you to stay with them.
Your insurance should support paying for crisis PR as part of your plan. If not, call and ask to have it added to your policy if you can afford it. You can also call them during a crisis and help underwrite it.
If your provider doesn’t cover crisis PR, contact us and we’ll refer you to an insurance firm that does support crisis PR in their policies. One of our specialties is helping insurance groups, so we can point you to the right firms.
