The article aims to present and discuss data from a market research study conducted between 2022 and 2023 with professionals working at intermediate or senior management levels. The research aimed to investigate the risk and crisis management structures maintained by Brazilian organizations, as well as the place that communication occupies in this context. Interviews were conducted with 43 managers from organizations of various sizes and fields of activity. Overall, it was concluded that organizational maturity in the risk assessment and management process is the main challenge to be faced by Brazilian organizations in creating and maintaining more resilient cultures. Issues such as the relationship between leadership profiles and organizational practices, as well as the relationship between organizational risks and the external environment, are also highlighted as important elements in the discussion about the role of communication in these spaces.
