Definition

  • Crisis management pertains to all activities aimed at preventing, mitigating, and terminating crises. We speak of crisis when a community of people—an organization, a town, or a nation—perceives an urgent threat to core values or life-sustaining functions, which must be urgently dealt with under conditions of deep uncertainty.
