PI
Contingency Plans
The creation of
a contingency plan is one of the first internal projects of a
new PI subcommittee. The intent of a contingency plan is to have
an established strategy for the PI subcommittee’s response to
inquiries from the public, especially those requests received
from the media.
It is essential that all
members of the area/region know what procedures are to be
followed when Narcotics Anonymous is contacted by a print or
broadcast news entity.
Simply put, a contingency plan sets out the details of how and
by who is to respond to public information requests or events.
This plan
should also include guidelines for handling those requests that
will affect other groups, areas and regions or NA World
Services. If a request does affect other service groups in NA,
then coordination, cooperation and information sharing are
needed in order to facilitate an effective response.
