Our firm was founded to assist local public agencies with just a few key <br />services: provide strategic counsel; write communications strategic plans; prepare crisis <br />communications plans, whether for issues or disasters; conduct communications traini ng; and <br />show up – in person or virtually – to assist when crises strike. <br /> <br />SAE frequently provides strategic counsel for high-profile municipal crises of confidence issues <br />and we bring a remarkable array of crisis management experience. SAE has provided <br />communications counsel, media relations, and Joint Information Center management for many <br />of California's most challenging recent crises.
