This is a two-part question: The Flint Water Crisis is one of those situations that really can blur the lines of your personal feelings and your professional responsibilities. Being aware of your personal feelings and not allowing them to affect how you should do your job is extremely important in situations like this. With that in mind, do you think you would have a difficult time working as the Crisis Manager for the city government of Flint, Michigan? Why or Why not?
Lastly, one thing to keep in mind about crisis communication is that we are often responding to a situation after it happens and our scope of authority can be and is often limited/restrained. However, for this course and to answer this question, I want you to answer without the thought of any limitations being in place. So, after watching this documentary, as the Crisis Manager for Flint, Michigan, what would be the first thing you would have done after learning about the contaminated water? Your answer does not need to be the politically correct response. Just be able to explain.
