EU ACRIMAS project
The EU ACRIMAS conceptual model [1] defines a crisis as a cascade of one or more separate crisis events (2nd order, 3rd order, etc.), that result from one initial crisis event. The effects of a single crisis are divided into two categories:
- Damage (or impact) such as numbers of fatalities, injured/ill people, costs, impact on basic necessities, …, social and political stability (see Sub-section 3.1.4)
- Cascading crisis events
