Crisis Management

Crisis management refers to the strategies and actions implemented by an individual or organization to address and resolve a significant threat or emergency situation that disrupts normal operations or poses a risk to public safety, reputation, or financial stability. It involves anticipating potential crises, preparing response plans, and executing those plans effectively to mitigate damage during an actual crisis. The process typically includes phases such as prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery.

Effective crisis management requires clear communication, a well-defined leadership structure, coordination among stakeholders, and a swift response to emerging challenges. It aims to control the situation, protect assets and people, and restore normalcy as quickly as possible while maintaining trust and credibility with affected parties and the public.
