The Crisis is a change – sudden or evolving –
that results in an urgent problem that must
be addressed immediately.
3. Crisis are not the normal ups and downs of a
business cycle those recurring problems
faced in the course of taking risk and
exploring new avenues of opportunities.
Yet some good can come out of these difficult
experiences.
A crisis is an event that can affect or destroy
an entire organization.
4. There are 4 types of crises:
Natural or Company related events
Technological breakdowns
Economic & market forces.

Uncontrollable natural events:
1. They strike unexpectedly.
2. This event may take the form of an earthquake,
typhoon, tornado,hurricane,bizzards,flood,fire,or some
natural disaster that crushes buildings, destroys
infrastructures and interrupts the communication.

1. A health and environmental disaster related to a
company is a disastrous event that, though it not
necessarily caused by a company is directly related to
the company.

your company in years past.

verification and preventive action taken
before the happening.
