The Four Stages of Crisis Management

Crisis management involves four key stages: 1. **Prevention**: Identifying potential risks and developing plans to avoid crises. 2. **Preparation**: Establishing clear procedures and training teams to respond effectively to crises. 3. **Response**: Taking immediate action during a crisis to manage its impact, including communication and resource deployment. 4. **Recovery**: Restoring normal operations and learning from the crisis to improve future preparedness and response efforts. Together, these stages help organizations effectively handle crises, minimize damage, and enhance resilience.
