CONCLUSION
The pre-crisis stage is crucial for reducing risks and mitigating the impact of a crisis. Participative prevention plan is the main tool to assess targets’ needs, including fragile targets and minorities. Multiagency approach needs a coordinated networking from the very beginning of the pre-crisis stage. Dissemination through population needs a coordinated and effective communication plan. The contribution of psychological competences is crucial in any role of the pre-crisis stage: as rescuers (members of the team), as trainers, as crisis managers and facilitators, and as consultants.
