We define emergency (E) as the product of risk and urgency. Risk (R) is defined by insurers as probability (p) multiplied by damage (D). Urgency (U) is defined in emergency situations as reaction time to an alert (τ) divided by the intervention time left to avoid a bad outcome (T). Thus:

[\textbackslash n] E = R × U = p × D × τ / T

[\textbackslash n] The situation is an emergency if both risk and urgency are high. If reaction time is longer than the intervention time left (τ\,/\,T\,{$>$}\,1), we have lost control.
