RENEWING CRISIS MANAGEMENT

The US authorities did not gain all the insight from the simulation exercise called "Crimson Contagion", organised in 2019 by the US  Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), for their  management of the Covid-19 crisis. Crisis management systems do exist but the Covid-19 pandemic showed how much leadership from the top was also paramount. The goal of leadership must be to develop a proactive and reactive system capable of producing the most effective response to any given risk.
