crisis [krahy-sis] noun: a stage in a sequence of events at which the trend of all future events is determined. Often used in conjunction with a negative event, by definition, the term crisis doesn’t typically refer to an actual occurrence. It is a condition, a stage in a sequence of events when a decisive response or change is necessary. During a crisis situation, timely communication and reacting in the present are essential for associations.
