    In an oil spill crisis, managing stakeholder expectations is crucial. Here's how I approach it: Prompt & Honest Communication: Be transparent about the spill’s extent and the expected timeline for resolution. Regular Updates: Keep stakeholders informed of progress and setbacks throughout the mitigation process. 💡Demonstrate Accountability: Outline clear steps being taken to prevent future incidents and ensure safety. How do you manage stakeholder relations during crises? I’d love to hear your strategies!

    The best way to manage stake holders is to regularly update them with limited information that are needed to be be provided to them. Unneccessary providing excess data that cant be understood to them may cause a panic situation. Provide them the proofs if possible, so that they should know how people are working to contain that spill. Also, if an individual is a key person handling that crisis, keep you manpower's motivation high.

Ese PRE tipo externo debe asegurar de forma efectiva la colaboración efectiva de todas las partes interesadas y evitar el menor impacto a las personas y al medio ambiente. Siguiente paso inmediato la remediar las afectaciones de cualquier tipo bajo un plan de corto plazo.
