“…Crises are situations in which social, institutional, and organizational interests are directly threatened, leading to the need for immediate action and uncertain results (Rosenthal, Hart, & Kouzmin, 1991). Crisis events include natural and technical disasters, terrorist attacks, international conflicts, nuclear threats, civil unrest, and global pandemics (Pan & Meng, 2016;Rosenthal et al, 1991). Effective crisis management requires timely communication and coordination between government agencies and stakeholders (Elbanna et al, 2019;Reddy et al, 2009); however, crises are often dynamic and complex, which causes many difficulties, such as extensive bureaucracy, policy-related constraints, and lack of resources (Harrison & Johnson, 2019;Panagiotopoulos et al, 2014;Reddy et al, 2009).…”
