Holding Statement When the Facts Are Still Emerging
Prompt
What happened, in confirmed terms only: {{CONFIRMED_EVENT}}
Who is affected: {{AFFECTED_PEOPLE}}
What we are doing right now: {{CURRENT_ACTIONS}}
What we do not yet know: {{CURRENT_UNKNOWNS}}
Where people can get updates: {{UPDATE_CHANNEL}}
Write three versions of the statement, each under 120 words: one for customers or the public, one for employees, one for partners or suppliers. Each should:
1. Say what we know in the first sentence, in plain words.
2. Express concern for those affected without grandstanding.
3. Describe what we are doing, using only my list.
4. Say what we do not know yet and when we will update, writing [UPDATE TIME TO CONFIRM] if I have not given a time.
5. Give the channel for updates.
Do not state a cause, apportion blame, estimate impact, or promise outcomes I did not give you. List five phrases to avoid in this situation and why, and note any statement that should be read by legal counsel before release, since wording can create obligations.
