It’s usually not politically wise to “tell” a client (or your boss) what to do with regard to crisis prevention or response. Making suggestions is a better way to go. But you have to communicate urgency, the sort of tone you might use when saying, “I suggest that you not light a match when you’re standing in a pool of gasoline.”
