Crisis

A crisis is a significant event or situation that poses a threat to the stability, well-being, or functioning of an individual, organization, community, or society. It typically involves a critical time requiring urgent decisions or actions and can arise from various factors, including natural disasters, economic downturns, political upheaval, health emergencies, or social unrest. A crisis is characterized by a heightened level of uncertainty and stress, often forcing stakeholders to react quickly to mitigate potential harm and restore normalcy. The resolution of a crisis may involve strategic planning, communication, and resource allocation to address the immediate challenges and prevent future occurrences.
