In crisis and disaster situations, managers' decision-making processes become extremely difficult and critical due to the high level of uncertainty. In such environments, lack of information, rapidly changing conditions and increased psychological pressure can reduce the effectiveness of traditional decision-making models. Decision-making in times of disaster and crisis differs from traditional decision-making models due to limited time, incomplete information, psychological pressure and high risk factors. This paper aims to examine decision-making processes in the context of crisis management and propose a model for managerial decision-making in uncertain environments, disaster and crisis situations by examining the challenges faced by managers. The findings of the study revealed that the most important main criterion is resource management and the least important is information and communication management. In addition, results and weights were determined for each sub-criteria.
