Crisis management is the systematic effort to prevent and mitigate the impact of events that threaten an organization's operations, reputation, or very existence. It involves a proactive approach to identifying potential threats and a reactive strategy for effectively responding to and recovering from a crisis. The field is dynamic and vital, as organizations across all sectors—from government and healthcare to technology and finance—recognize the increasing need to prepare for a wide array of potential disruptions, including natural disasters, cyberattacks, public relations nightmares, and global pandemics.
