Public relations practitioners are also called risk managers. What contribution do you think they can make to risk management?

I think

Essential contribution to risk management for practitioners of public relations lies in maintaining the reputation of the institution and not to shoot the promises and deadlines that cannot fulfill them ....They interface institution in terms of behavior, appearance etcThey must know all or most of what was going on the institution and the date of its establishment and all activity etc

They could help in identify some risk early 

I am agree wit Mr. waeil osman EL sharif  

Practitioners in Public relations may be considered as Risk Management professionals from a broader perspective, such as these practitioners being familiar with the regulations and the regulatory authorities and also familiarity with the requirements. In this way, they may contribute their expertise to general audience in terms of their awareness of certain terms that are also commonly used in Risk Management (such as common regulatory compliance risks, mitigation, risk action plan etc.)

Outside of this perspective, it would not be appropriate to consider Public Relations profssionals as Risk Managers.

Risk Managers are individuals with specialized expertise on the management and treatment of risks related to a business or an entity.

4. They should also create a strategic response, and define the content of the issue, and identify the target groups, and what are the company’s strategic options?, and what resources are needed?, and what specific actions that should be taken? By whom? When? With whom?, and develop issue management communication plan and consider timing.
