looking back over my notes from crisis comms classes and one of them says that in a crisis a company should make a holding statement ("we hear your concerns/monitoring the situation/more information will be provided shortly") within 15 MINUTES of learning of a situation or within an hour at most.

with watcher it's been almost 48 hours.

if that wasn't bad enough, here's one of the graphics i saved that shows just how bad they're bungling the response. they're doing none of the things the chart says to do and the ONE THING it absolutely says not to do.
