This video defines crises as outcomes of social, political, and economic conditions rather than just natural events. It argues that modern threats like pandemics and climate change blur traditional lines, requiring managers to integrate science, ethics, and governance into a multidisciplinary response.
Description
This video examines what defines a crisis and why its origins matter for disaster management. It distinguishes between natural hazards and man-made crises, showing how social, political, and economic conditions often determine their impacts. By exploring climate change, pandemics, and institutional failures, the video argues that modern crises blur traditional boundaries and demand multidisciplinary responses. It challenges emergency managers to move beyond siloed toolkits and develop the ability to integrate science, governance, ethics, and communication—recognizing that all crises are ultimately human in impact, response, and memory.
