International
Crisis Management Plan
Foreword
The International Crisis management plan outline was adding to the
Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Series to combat unforeseen
situations that may occur in a domestic or international environment. This
management plan involves traveling abroad, living abroad, security issues,
emergency planning, business operations and family living. Please keep in
mind, living and working abroad is different than living in the United
States due to different cultures, political and legal systems, criminal
activities, law enforcement practices, language barriers and hostilities.
Due to the intensity and in-depth subject matter, I can only give an
outline to lure you to investigate and research the subject matter. The information collected and gathered will aid in preserving the
person's physical, mental, spiritual and financial well being. All this
information would be helpful to all U.S. citizens anywhere they reside.
For further Information, please check out the web sites of or contact Alan
Scott’s Research, the State Department or Overseas Advisory Committee
for more information on international crisis management planning.

the Domestic Crisis Management Plan. Keep in mind that this
plan deals with more domestic crises than International crises, but have
similar items, but does not address international issues.
Conclusion:
An International Crisis Management Plan is different than a domestic
Crisis Management Plan. There are different rule and regulations,
different attitudes, security concerns and different government policies.
In addition, when traveling or living in a new country, one may experience
hostile governments, law enforcement corruption, culture shock and hostile
communities. It
occurs more often in a foreign country than the United States. All of
these topics can also be used in the United States to prevent crime and
violence, law enforcement corruption and hostile communities. At this
point in time, I can not tell the difference between the United States and
a foreign country. Each can become hostile and violent to a citizen, but
the United States treats the person in a more civilized manner. Instead of
killing a person and taking everything away from you for speaking out, the
United States has laws to suppress the freedom of expression, financially
ruin people and destroy lives. The United States offers humane services,
democratic legal system and education system that the rest of the world
fails to offer. It is very important to educate oneself in crisis
management planning for both domestic and international activities. Do not
leave home with out it. |
