DESCRIPTION

The Town seeks a firm experienced in crisis communications and strategic communications to provide a broad range of services, including media relations, reputation management, emergency communications support, and public messaging during high-profile or emergency situations. The selected vendor will support crisis preparedness, proactive planning, training, and communication strategies designed to anticipate and effectively manage emerging issues before they escalate.

Services will span support for special event emergencies, operational disruptions, tourism or public venue-related incidents, and the management of misinformation or social media escalation. The firm will also assist with handling media inquiries on non-crisis matters as requested and monitor social media activity, public sentiment, and emerging narratives during crisis scenarios. Strategic counsel regarding reputational issues and emerging risks, along with scenario planning, tabletop exercises, and on-site media coordination during emergency events, will be important components of the engagement. The contract is for a one-year period.
