CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
The CCN was formed in April 2001 in response to communication problems associated with several large-scale community emergencies, and to take advantage of the lessons learned during the Columbine High School shooting disaster April 20, 1999, in Littleton, Colo. During that crisis, the effective release of timely, accurate information to the public was hindered by a serious lack of coordination among the many agencies responding. Public relations specialists in these agencies did not know one another and had therefore not trained together to effectively handle such an emergency. The CCN continues to grow with the help of the Pikes Peak Chapter. Its members meet monthly and are committed to its stated mission: “…to build relationships, provide support and enhance coordination among Pikes Peak-area public information officers, thereby ensuring the delivery of timely, accurate and consistent information to all impacted audiences.”
