Textbooks can teach the steps of emergency management, but the moment an actual crisis breaks out, the difference between a good response and a great one usually comes down to creative leadership — the ability to adapt a standard procedure to a situation nobody planned for.

Governments and institutions have paid growing attention to emergency management because of the scale of its potential consequences, running scientific programmes to address the effects of crises and follow up on emergencies that can erupt without warning, all to protect community safety. That has meant preparing trained cadres and leaders, and coordinating the effort across industrial establishments and sensitive facilities, which tend to be more exposed to emergency situations than most.
