Lifecycle of Crisis

4 stages of the ‘Lifecycle of Crisis’ framework which includes introduction

Introduction
Provide a very brief overview of your case (where, when, what happened)
Explain which theoretical construct* you will be applying and why
I. Pre-Conditions
Crises rarely occur ‘out of the blue’, instead there are usually several warning signs. Discuss the warning signs and why people did not respond adequately in your particular crisis case.
II. Trigger—Only pick one!
Discuss the point in time that the crisis kicked-off—how, when, why?
III. Crisis
Discuss how, when and why the crisis escalated to produce the greatest
damage
IV. Post-Crisis
Discuss what happened after the acute phase was over
What were the lessons learned to prevent a future crisis event—were they ‘learned’ or ignored post-crisis?
Summary
Consider all phases of your analysis. In sum, what should we have learned from your paper’s analysis and how did the theoretical framework you selected help us understand this crisis better.
