What Is Crisis Calmness?

Maintain clear thinking, proportionate communication, and useful action when a situation becomes urgent, stressful, or unstable.

  • communicates facts without amplifying unverified information
  • keeps decisions proportionate to the available evidence
  • helps others understand what is happening and what they should do next

How to Develop Crisis Calmness

You can develop it by:

  • after a stressful event, review which actions improved control and which were reactive
