Abstract

Crisis management is a special management method, which demands an important decision or response be made within a very limited time, in order to enhance pre-crisis foreseeing ability, in-crisis rescue ability, and post-crisis recovery ability. Just like between risk management and emergency management, there is an intricate relationship between crisis management and emergency management. Similar to risk management, crisis management is a preventive treatment system that is established in preparation for unexpected events endangering public lives and properties, social order, and public security, forcing managers to take appropriate measures to minimize the resulting losses.
