Abstract: The fields of crisis management and sustainable development have maintained separate research paths. However, these fields are closely linked. Crisis events can deplete resources needed by future generations, ultimately hindering efforts at sustainable development. This paper proposes a research agenda and provides a four-phase framework that integrates these two growing research fields.

Keywords: crisis management; sustainable development; accidents; disasters; emergency management; sustainability.
