Just days after Hurricane Katrina, Deveney Communication established the New Orleans Tourism Communication and Media Center, where they helped manage some 2,000 journalists reporting from the New Orleans area. The team worked tirelessly to ensure that the messages leaving the city would be reported positively and accurately. Deveney Communication’s post-Katrina crisis communications have been honored by leading practitioners throughout the country, and the firm’s presentation “Katrina: Lessons Learned” has provided a valuable model for the public relations industry.

PRSA’s Silver Anvil is awarded to companies that address issues with exemplary skill, creativity and professionalism that meet the highest standards of performance in public relations.
