I believe that advancements in technology have significantly enhanced crisis communication and it has been revolutionizing the way organizations and individuals respond to emergencies. Real-time updates and quick responses are now possible through various communication platforms and it facilitates faster information sharing and collaboration hence bridging geographical gaps and reducing response times (Touitou, 2020). Social mediafor example plays a crucial role in reaching a large audience quickly and disseminating time-sensitive information. At the same time, it also presents challenges, such as the rapid spread of misinformation, which can lead to public panic and confusion. Therefore, verifying information before sharing it is essential to maintain accuracy and avoid unnecessary alarm.

Effective crisis management involves several key aspects. One, acknowledging and accepting the existence of a crisis is crucial. Building a well-informed and equipped crisis response team ensures an effective response. This includes executing a well-structured plan, maintaining transparency, empathy, and coordination, and providing consistent, accurate information to the public (Touitou, 2020). Most of my deployments, we use secure satellite communication and real-time data sharing to coordinate disaster response, ensuring quick and accurate information dissemination. On the other hand, an area where we need more training could be managing misinformation on social media because it has increasingly becoming a significant challenge for us.
