Crisis management cycle

Introduction

Crisis, disaster and emergency management are widely understood to be a multiple-phase process, with the phases generally paralleling, rather than running sequentially. Among several models of the crisis management cycle (synonymously used: emergency management cycle, disaster management cycle), it’s terminology and number of phases circulating (cf. Stangl et Stollenwerk 2011)[1], the 4-phases cycle became widely accepted (cf. Schwab et al. 2007: 19[2], Coppola 2009: 8[3], US Department of Education 2009[4]).
