Abstract

The basic theoretical research of crisis communication is relatively weak. Some basic problems have not
been fully discussion. In this paper, three questions were carefully explored, including the origin of the crisis
communication research, the concept of crisis and the object of crisis communication. The origin of crisis
communication research can be dated back in 1947 when the national safety meeting under the crisis team
was held; in the field of communication, crisis is a kind of destructive change, with violent resistance and high
relevance, against the fundamental goal with development. This change can also bring about significant negative
influence and social unrest. The object of crisis communication research is social information system. The
goals were to find scientific methods to overcome the obstacles and barriers of crisis communication, to find the
dissemination mechanism of social information system, and finally to reduce the damage of crisis.
