Imagine one of your athletics events interrupted by a sudden, unexpected situation, such as an earthquake, a tornado warning, a roof collapse, an active shooter, a fight between teams or intoxicated spectators, or fans trampled as they rush the field. When an emergency occurs during an athletics event on your campus, you might expect to rely on your school's crisis management plan for essential guidance. But you might not realize that most crisis management plans have their limitations.
