In the modern era, the need arose for an independent science concerned with crises and disasters and how to manage and confront them, called 'the science of crisis and disaster management', a science founded, like other sciences, on a set of scientific foundations and principles. This training kit addresses the concept of crisis management as the continuous administrative process concerned with predicting potential crises by monitoring the internal or external environmental variables that generate crises, and mobilising available resources with the greatest possible efficiency.
The kit also reviews the most important principles of crisis management, from the necessity of clearly defining the goal, prior preparation and planning with monitoring of variables and preparing response scenarios, providing accurate and sufficient information, providing a good system for internal and external communications, and the availability of rational, unemotional leadership, strengthening understanding of the stages of crisis management and how to manage crises and emergencies in an organised scientific manner. This kit is a practical reference for trainers wishing to train leaders to confront crises in the work environment.
