2. What is a PR Crisis? Any situation that is threatening or could threaten to harm people or property, seriously interrupt business, significantly damage reputation and/or negatively impact the bottom line.

The organization will be perceived as inept, at best, and criminally negligent, at worst. The length of time required to bring full resolution to the issue will be extended, often dramatically (Bernstein)
