About the Article

Navigating the vast literature on risk and crisis management can be challenging for non-profits with limited resources. This Teaching Paper curates and categorizes foundational works—books, articles, and practitioner resources—that provide theoretical grounding and practical insights into resilience, communication, and continuity management. By organizing references into a structured framework, the paper helps academics integrate key works into teaching and research, while offering practitioners an accessible entry point for training and capacity building. A case study illustrates how one organization built its preparedness program by combining academic texts with practitioner surveys. Reflection questions and tips encourage readers to contextualize global knowledge for local realities.

Key Topics

  • Influential articles on disaster preparedness and sustainability
  • Practitioner resources for real-time application
