A crisis committee is one that is used to provide quick responses to matters that need immediate attention. All delegates have a very large say in these kinds of committees, and since everything happens quite quickly, they have less time to make any decisions as well. Here are some things which will help you succeed in a crisis committee.
- There are times when it is possible that your views do not match with the rest of the committee, in which case make sure to highlight the difference in perspectives. Inform the others of your agenda and how it will go well with what they have in mind.

- During all discussions, keep an eye out for people who have similar opinions to you. Try to form alliances with these people as when one has the power of multiple people supporting their decisions and agreeing with them, it makes the decision-making process a lot easier. Not just that, it also helps with gaining votes when making proposals of your own.
- Most importantly, make sure to take note of all relevant points which can be used later on.
- Keep on listening to all discussions and think of what is of importance to you.
- Use break times well to reflect on points and interact with other delegates.
- Calmly and confidently present your points and you will be sure to do well. All the best!
