Crisis Readiness 1
Crisis Readiness 1 :
"....the term crisis readiness..... suggests a desirable, proactive orientation toward crises. In addition, because it is broader than many of the other related terms in use, such as emergency or disaster preparedness, emergency response, and disaster recovery, the term crisis readiness encapsulates these other terms. It is thus defined here as an organization's ability to effectively respond to and recover from external events (such as terrorist attacks and natural disasters), as well as internal events (such as major accidents and financial/funding crises). In this regard, crisis readiness is the desired end state of organizational preparedness, crisis management, business continuity planning, and other organizational activities and processes". (Light, Predicting Organizational Crisis Readiness, 2008, p. 17)
