Introduction

As a result of the growth and development of the industrial investment environment, intense competition and factors of uncertainty, the occurrence of various disasters and crises that may threaten the stability of these institutions is increased, and therefore it is necessary to be prepared in advance and early predict the factors of crises and disasters, by developing plans, scenarios, and preparations to deal with the various crises and disasters expected to occur in the institution by forming a specialized unit for crisis and disaster management in the institution so that it is an administrative unit that has its own entity and responsibilities in administrative organization and includes a distinguished and well trained team for crisis and disaster management, and a crisis is a defect that affects materially and morally the institution’s system, as it threatens the main assumptions on which the system is based and the disaster is the situation that actually occurred and led to the destruction and massive losses of human and material resources and their causes, and they are either natural or human, and are usually not preceded by a warning, and require taking extraordinary measures to return to a state of stability, and the disaster may lead to what is called a crisis, and vice versa crises may lead to disasters if appropriate decisions and measures are not taken to confront them.
