Crisis skills atrophy without use. Maintenance strategies preserve and expand value:
Regular Practice Scenarios - Monthly tool-free problem solving - Quarterly crisis simulations - Annual intensive skill reviews
Real-World Application - Volunteer for challenging situations - Seek opportunities to use skills - Help others develop capabilities
Continuous Learning - Study historical crisis responses - Learn from others' experiences - Adapt skills to new contexts
Network Integration - Connect with others developing crisis skills - Share learning and experiences - Build complementary skill partnerships
