According to securipedia[1], Crisis Management is a continuous process with typically four cyclic phases following a crisis:

  1. response
  2. recovery
  3. mitigation
  4. preparedness

The Netherlands crisis management structure recognises an additional phase: aftercare ('nazorg'), e.g. to take care of the long-term socio-psychological impact to citizens, and to identify and learn the lessons.
Different from Emergency Management, Crisis Management has also a long-term strategic aspect.
