Crises must always be managed locally and therefore fall within the responsibilities of municipalities. To master the challenges of a crisis, the author provides an overview of the leadership tasks that public authorities, municipalities, cities, and districts must perform. The book is primarily aimed at those whose training does not include crisis management or only covers it in a rudimentary way, such as mayors, district administrators, department heads, fire chiefs, or former police and military personnel. The content is particularly practical due to the concrete presentation of action instructions, making the guide useful for both preparing for crises and for reference during a crisis.
