Many agencies are equipped to respond promptly when needed. However, it’s wise to heed the saying, “hurry now, regret later.” While there are situations that demand immediate action, it’s generally advisable to have a well-thought-out plan (endorsed by the client) before deploying any on-the-ground activities.
