In the course of an environmental crisis, environmen­tal legal liabilities and regulatory re­sponsibilities arise and must be man­aged to attempt to minimize the risk of financial loss to the company in crisis and to preserve any rights or opportunities that may exist to recover cleanup costs and legal defense costs.

Several critical issues must be consid­ered when an environmental crisis occurs: Prepare For a Crisis Before It Occurs.
