crisis zone
Emergency response region
A crisis zone is an area experiencing severe instability, danger, or emergency conditions—typically from armed conflict, natural disaster, or humanitarian catastrophe.
The term appears frequently in news coverage and policy discussions: Aid workers were evacuated from the crisis zone.
It emphasizes geographic boundaries around chaos, implying relative safety exists outside them.
