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 acute crisis stage

- is the essential intervention in emergency.

- Acute crisis intervention is simultaneously articulated in remote and reflective (directed at planning) and on-site and pro-active (directed at victims)

- Efficient processes of communication and coordination allow to provide appropriate answers to targets’ needs.

- The acute crisis stage demands to be fast and appropriate in the intervention, but also resilient and able to cope with long-term impact

The post-acute crisis stage

- is the time to capitalize the lessons learned in the emergency intervention for future policy.

- The post-acute crisis stage allows community to raise awareness towards preventive culture.

- The post-acute crisis is the phase of planning to build the recovery plan.

- Focusing on shared common values and principles is the first step to prevent interest conflict between different stakeholders.
