This study aims to propose new research area in crisisonomy to build safer communities by analyzing the nuanced relationship between ‘safety’ and ‘crisis’. as extreme events such as heavy rains, heatwaves, snowstorms, severe cold spells, large wildfires, and crises become more frequent, the necessity for improved crisis management is clear. The study emphasizes that managing crises does not inherently create safe communities, as crisis & emergency management and safety strategies are related yet distinct. The research identifies three primary approaches. The vulnerability reduction approach involves risk assessments, infrastructure improvements, disaster preparedness education, and community involvement to protect lives and property. The resilience enhancement approach focuses on mental recovery, social connections, and effective crisis response policies to enable communities to withstand and recover from crises. The maintenance approach ensures the proper functioning of essential systems through preventive, corrective, and predictive measures, thereby reducing disaster likelihood and minimizing damage.
