Crisis Management refers to the systematic approach to dealing with emergencies or unexpected events that threaten an organization, community, or individual. It involves planning and executing strategies to respond effectively to crises, minimizing their negative impact while maintaining or restoring normal operations. The process includes identifying potential risks, developing contingency plans, mobilizing resources, and communicating with stakeholders.
Effective crisis management seeks to mitigate damage, protect reputation, and ensure safety. It typically encompasses several stages: preparedness (developing plans and training), response (implementing the plans during a crisis), recovery (restoring normal operations), and learning (analyzing the event to improve future responses).
Overall, crisis management is crucial for sustaining organizational resilience and ensuring swift recovery from disruptive events.
