A critical incident encompasses a broad range of events that threaten the safety and well-being of individuals and communities. This includes natural disasters, terrorist attacks, mass shootings, and other catastrophic events.

"Act of God" refers to events such as natural disasters that are beyond human control, but the term is not generally used in professional emergency management contexts. "Homeland assault" is a term that is too specific and limited; it does not encompass the full range of events that could be considered critical incidents.
