What is the difference between a crisis and an emergency?

An emergency is a situation that creates a serious and immediate risk to an individual’s health, life or property. Call 911 immediately.

A crisis is a time of intense difficulty, distress or trouble. A crisis can be personal, a family crisis, or related to some other event in your life.
