Now, there are three main types of crises: developmental, situational, and existential crises. Developmental crises are predictable and expected occurrences during life. Common examples of developmental crises include graduation, new job, marriage, the birth of a child, and retirement.
There are six recognized phases within every crisis: (1) Warning; (2) Risk Assessment; (3) Response; (4) Management; (5) Resolution; and (6) Recovery. This is the fourth of six topic briefings that will explore each phase of a crisis, identify specific areas of concern, and provide manageable solutions.
