Crisis scenarios are inherently fluid and unforseen events, that require as much preplanning as possible and a team that can deal with constant change during the event. A team that has prepared before the event has a better chance of responding correctly to the crisis and will be more receptive on the uptake of ideas, and more open to the situation.
