Crisis
A crisis is a significant event or situation that poses a threat to individuals, organizations, or communities. It often requires immediate action and can disrupt normal operations. Crises can arise from various sources, including natural disasters, economic downturns, or public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
During a crisis, effective communication and decision-making are crucial to manage the situation and minimize harm. Organizations may implement crisis management plans to address the challenges and restore stability. Examples of crises include hurricanes, financial collapses, and terrorist attacks, all of which can have widespread impacts on society.
