Crisis Management
• Crises lead to a lot of insecurity and every crisis is different. However, it is still
possible and useful to prepare
• Start with the risk profile in mind: target groups, locations, societal
developments, buildings, environment
• Then think of crisis scenario’s with a high impact
• Operation framework for managing the impact:
• Which are the areas of impact?
• What are the critical moments?
• About which issues should a crisis team take decisions?
• Who are your most important stakeholders?
Preparation: OTO (3)
Who are your most important stakeholders? Get to know them and invest in
the relationship…
External
• Safety: police, justice, municipalities, safety regions, fire department
• Companies (hired and in the area)
• Insurance, experts
• Education institutions domestic and abroad & networks………..
Internal
• Student representation
• Student association and sororities
• Services
• Education & research
Preparation: learning from incidents (5)
1. Calamity abroad
• Conferencing method:
• BOB procedure;
- Forming an image of the situation (Beeldvorming)
- Judging the situation (Oordeelsvorming)
- Decision-making (Besluitvorming)
• Downscaling
Forming an image of the situation
Situation-analysis.
Scenario-analysis.
The second step in forming an image of the situation is assessing the
development of the incident.
• How will the crisis probably end? (Waar gaat de crisis waarschijnlijk heen?)
• What other scenario’s can you reasonably expect?
Consider not only the likelihood that a certain scenario will happen, but also
consider the undesirability: what should absolutely be prevented?
Scenario-analysis can lead to managing multiple crises at the same time: the real
crisis that is happening at the moment and the crises that have to be prevented at
all cost.
Judging the situation
Option-analysis.
If the situation and scenario’s are clear, you can start judging the situation with
identifying the options.
• What can you do?
• What is your operation framework (handelingskader)?
• What are the short-term options and what long-term actions can you take?
• Do not stop the option-analysis to soon. It is very tempting to immediately use a
familiar respons for the problem, but don’t forget this is a big crisis. Give yourself
some time and put a brake on you ‘action-modus’ for a little while. But stay alert
to act when necessary and return to the option-analysis afterwards.
Judging the situation
Consequenses-analysis.
The second step in judging the situation is waying the consequences from the
option-analysis.
What does every seperate option mean for the safety, continuity and reputation of
your organisation?
Be aware that every consequence has consequences of its own.
Keep asking yourself ‘what does that mean?’ until you can’t go any further.
Decision making
Goal.
If you have completed all the steps, you should have enough information to start
making decisions. Determine your goal. What do you want to achieve and when?
What should you do to achieve this and who has to do this? Make your decisions
explicite and formulate your goals SMART.
Actions.
The last step is delegating actions and monitoring the progress of the crisis
management. After that you can start again with step 1 of the cycle: forming an
image of the situation.
• Is the situation changing?
• Are the scenario’s still developing in the way you predicted?
• Are there new options or have your options diminished?
• What does that mean?
• Will you still reach your goal in time?
• Etcetera. Until you are done.

Recovery
Follow-up phase- diagnosis: Make an overview of the needed actions and intensity.
Think about the following categories:
Make contacts beforehand, complete your internal and external network and draw up
pilot-contracts (waakvlam-contracten) with external experts if necessary.
Recovery : organisation and communication
Optimal progress and connection between processes, keeping the overview, supervision, inform
stakeholders about the risks and expectations about consequences and the way to act.
Examples:
• Coördination and organisation
• Information distribution
• Public relations (externe voorlichting)
• Supervision
• Register and monitor vicitms
Recovery : research and accountability
Getting clarification about the consequences (gravity and scope of the damage) and causes,
what can result in learning, punishing and questions of accountability
Examples:
• Damage assessment
• Monitor damage to nature, environment and landscape
• (Evaluation)research and learning
• Research ensurance
• Criminal investigation
• Questions of accountability
Recovery : recovery and care / financial
Carry out activities dedicated to the recovery of and care for humans, the evironment and society.

• Reconstruction
• Psycho-social shelter and care

• Stimulate social cohesion HEI
4. Financial provisions
Examples:
• Damage
• Needed financial resources
Recovery : business continuity
5. Business continuity
