In the crisis-level framework, Level I corresponds to which scenario?

• A. A minor incident
• B. A major public crisis
• C. A personal tragedy
• D. A disaster

Answer: (C)

Level I in the crisis-level framework focuses on an individual student’s experience, a personal tragedy, rather than events that affect many people. This level is about acute distress seen in a single student and is addressed with on-site, brief crisis intervention to help stabilize the situation, assess safety, and connect the student to appropriate supports. The other scenarios involve larger scales: a minor incident may not rise to crisis intervention, while a major public crisis or a disaster impacts many students and staff and requires broader coordination and resources beyond Level I.
