Emergencies, Disasters, and Crises
Emergencies, Disasters, and Crises : "What do emergencies, disasters, and crises have in common? Simply, that something bad has happened or is happening. When something bad and/or unexpected happens, it may be called an emergency, a disaster, or a crisis depending on the magnitude of the event and the current phase of the event". (CDC, CERC, 2002, p. 6)
