scope:

Crises conditions may manifest themselves throughout all elements of global society and significantly impact upon the goals and objectives of nations, regional and urban areas, communities, organizations (both public sector and private enterprise) and individual people. Crises may arise from failures to effectively manage security of assets, information, reputations or sovereign risks to governments or organizations or to provide safety and protection of members of society from personal injury, loss or harm. The development of a Crisis Management Framework under which all related standards for crisis management can be developed within the proposed WG9 provides a logical and consistent approach within this new branch of study for TC 292.
