The thesis deals with crisis communication in the United States in the case of Hurricane Rita and Hurricane Harvey. Hurricane Rita devastated the United States in 2005 and Hurricane Harvey in 2017. At the beginning of the work, basic concepts such as crisis, crisis management and crisis communication are explained. The following is a systematic arrangement of crisis management in the United States of America, a presentation of crisis management systems at the national level, and crisis communication in the crisis management system at the national level in the United States of America. In the next section, the research focuses more specifically on crisis management and crisis communication in the state of Texas, where both Rita and Harvey have left implications. Crisis communication is initially explained generally by the state and later by how information is transmitted in the event of a hurricane. A general insight into the historical understanding of Texas crises is presented. The basic part presents the crisis communication technology used in the case of both hurricanes and a comparison of crisis communication with the public, as well as the case of both hurricanes. On the basis of these findings, the final chapter presents the essential findings of the bachelor thesis, which also outlines the answers to the thesis.
