Crisis Management is the term that describes a process, or collection of processes that are put in place to handle an unexpected event that threatens to harm an organisation, a business, an operation or an individual / group of people.  A crisis normally occurs without prior warning, and therefore it is paramount that plans are put in place that can be executed swiftly to either a) put actions in place to remedy the situation or b) decrease the impact of the crisis so that normality can be restored over a short period of time.

In contrast, risk management is an ongoing process in which potential threats are highlighted and solutions are put in place to avoid these risks.  Risk Management tends to be more proactive, where as Crisis Management is reactive.

Unfortunately, no matter how good your risk management procedures are, there is always a requirement for any business, military group or organisation to have a crisis management plan put in place.
