Global climate change is real. Gun violence in the United States is endemic and unfortunately, a regular part of life. Flash mob crime is trending. Pandemics continually prove they will return deadlier. As humans expand on planet Earth, we encroach on areas which have not been exposed to human touch. The Earth, much less the universe, has proven it can and does host extinction events on a recurring basis. That said, humans have to live, work, and hopefully thrive in a tenuous world and the consequences of natural and or human actions associated with their (human) existence. Emergency & Risk Management as a coping mechanism is not in step with natural and current societal changes. Thus, a new way to address crisis and consequence is needed, such as the Adaptive Contingency Process Theory or ACP.
