Preferred term

cascading crisis  

Definition

  • A cascading crisis is an unexpected event, or series of events, that creates a damaging domino effect of failures within or across systems. Although some cascading crises seem to stem from a single trigger event, others are created by the compounding of multiple interaction effects.
