What do you think our motivation is all about?

What do you mean by Emergent and Crises?

Abstraction/Lesson Proper:
EMERGENTN CRISES
Emergency - a serious, unexpected, and often dangerous situation requiring immediate
action.
Disaster - a sudden accident or a natural catastrophe that causes great damage or loss of
life
Crisis - a time of intense difficulty or danger
Emergency planning introduces methods for identifying and assessing hazards and
vulnerabilities that require a crisis management and emergency response plan.
Crises are usually categorized as being either situational or maturational. Situational
crises involve an unexpected event that is usually beyond the individual's control.
Examples of situational crises include natural disasters, loss of a job, assault, and the
sudden death of a loved one. Maturational crises occur when a person is unable to cope
with the natural process of development. Maturational crises usually occur at times of
transition, such as when the first child is born, when a child reaches adolescence, and
when the head-of-the household retires.
Definition of a Crisis: A disruption or breakdown in a person’s or family’s normal or usual
pattern of functioning. A crisis cannot be resolved by a person’s customary problem-
solving resources/skills.

A crisis may be different from a problem or an emergency

 While a problem may create stress and be difficult to solve, the family or individual
is capable of finding a solution. Consequently, a problem that can be resolved by
an individual or a family without outside intervention is not a crisis. Oftentimes, a
problem may seem like a crisis to a family or individual under stress and not
thinking clearly. Interventions that establish trust and provide reassurance, advice
or a referral by the case worker may resolve such a problem.
 An emergency is a sudden, pressing necessity, such as when a life is in danger
because of an accident, a suicide attempt, or family violence. It requires immediate
attention by law enforcement, CPS, or other professionals trained to respond to life-
threatening events. If a situation can wait 24 to 72 hours for a response, without
placing an individual or a family in jeopardy, it is a crisis and not an emergency.
 Three basic elements of a crisis are: A stressful situation, difficulty in coping, and
the timing of intervention. Each crisis situation is unique and will require a flexible
approach to the client and situation.

Situations Which Can Lead to a Crisis

Everyone has experiences that make them feel upset, disappointed, or fatigued. When
these types of feelings are combined with certain life events or situations, they often lead
to mounting tension and stress. Five types of situations have been identified that may
produce stress and, in turn, contribute to a state of crisis. Types of client crisis situations
presented in the CSO are typically related to the following:

 Family Situations - a child abuse investigation, spouse abuse, an unplanned

pregnancy, a parent’s desertion, a chronically ill family member, and lack of social
supports are examples of family situations that can create stress and crises.
 Economic Situations - sudden or chronic financial strain is responsible for many
family crises, such as loss of employment, eviction, no food, a theft of household
cash or belongings, high medical expenses, missed child support payments,
repossession of a car, utilities cut off from service, money “lost” to gambling or drug
addiction, and poverty.
 Community Situations - neighborhood violence, inadequate housing, a lack of
community resources, and inadequate educational programs illustrate some ways
the community may contribute to family crises.
 Significant Life Events - events that most view as happy, such as a marriage, the
birth of a child, a job promotion, or retirement, can trigger a crisis in a family; a child
 enrolling in school, the behaviors of an adolescent, a grown child leaving the home,
the onset of menopause, or the death of a loved one can also be very stressful life
events.
 Natural Elements -crises are created by disasters such as floods, hurricanes, fires,
and earth quakes, or even extended periods of high heat and humidity, or gloomy
or excessively cold weather.
