In our everyday life we are likely to be threatened by crisis . The seriousness of the crisis can either be reduced or if proper strategies to crisis management are adopted . Every organization should be well equipped with the knowledge of how their impacts could be lessened or reduced . The crisis management knowledge depends on the type of the organization .
