The crisis may appear as a result of the absence of policies or plans, or the lack of rationality in taking decisions or for many other reasons. A crisis is defined as “a sudden, unexpected event or situation that threatens the ability of individuals or organizations to survive. ”All crises are subject to common standards and elements in terms of planning and preparing well to avoid falling into them, or mitigating their negative effects and increasing the opportunities in order to transfer their effects to the benefit of the organizations.
