    CRISIS

    EVENTS
    and
    Disasters
    Crisis Events
    -refer to sudden and unexpected situations
    that pose significant challenges and risks to
    individuals, communities, or society as a
    whole.
    Types of crisis
    Crisis events can be categorized into various types based on
    their nature, origin, and impact. Some common types of
    crises include:

    Developmental crises: This type of crisis is part of the


    process of growing up. Sometimes, a crisis is actually a
    predictable part of the cycle of life, like the crises that
    are described in Erikson’s stages of psychosocial
    development.
    Types of crisis
    Existential crises: These types of inner conflicts that
    lead to a crisis are related to ideas like your life
    purpose, direction, and spirituality. A midlife crisis is an
    example of a crisis that is rooted in existential anxiety.
    Situational crises: Sudden and unexpected crises
    include accidents and natural disasters. Getting in a car
    accident, being affected by a flood or an earthquake, or
    being the victim of a crime are a few examples of
    situational crises.
    Types of crisis
    Public health emergencies: Outbreaks of infectious
    diseases, pandemics, or health-related crises, like the
    COVID-19 pandemic.
    Economic crises: Financial downturns, recessions, or
    currency collapses that have widespread economic
    impacts.
    Political crises: Events involving political instability,
    conflicts, coups, or government breakdowns.
    Disasters
    -are extreme events that cause widespread
    destruction, loss of life, and disruption of
    normal life and community functioning.
    Types of Disaster
    Natural disasters: Events caused by natural processes,
    such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, droughts,
    volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis.

    Technological disasters: Crises resulting from failures or


    accidents in technological systems, such as nuclear
    accidents, chemical spills, industrial accidents, and
    infrastructure failures.
    Types of Disaster
    Complex emergencies: Situations characterized by a
    combination of factors, such as armed conflict, political
    instability, displacement of populations, and humanitarian
    crises
