Disaster Management:

• Disaster management focuses on all aspects of dealing with natural or man-made disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pandemics, terrorist attacks, etc.
• It involves various phases, including preparedness (planning, risk assessment, and training), response (emergency services, evacuation, search and rescue), recovery (restoration of infrastructure, rehabilitation), and mitigation (implementing measures to reduce future risks).
• Professionals in disaster management often work in government agencies, non-profit organizations, emergency services, and humanitarian sectors.

Crisis Management:

• Crisis management encompasses strategies and actions taken to handle unexpected events or situations that have the potential to harm an organization's reputation, operations, or stakeholders.
• Crises can include incidents like product recalls, data breaches, public relations emergencies, workplace accidents, or financial disruptions.
• Crisis management involves identifying potential crises, developing response plans, establishing communication protocols, coordinating actions, and implementing strategies to minimize damage and restore normalcy.
• Professionals in crisis management often work in public relations, communications, risk management, and business continuity departments of organizations.

Both disaster management and crisis management share the goal of minimizing harm, ensuring safety, and facilitating effective response and recovery. They involve coordination between multiple stakeholders, effective communication, and strategic decision-making to address and mitigate the impacts of adverse events.
