A researcher developed questionnaire consisted of 54 items was adopted in this study.

Data processing was performed using the Statistical Package of Social Sciences insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SPSS);. The results indicated that the educational crisis management requirements ranged between insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.72-3.93); that are at high levels, where the planning domain was ranked first with the highest mean score of insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.93);, followed by leadership skills with a mean score of insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.78); And in the third rank was the information domain with a mean score of insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.75);, and in the fourth rank was the communication domain with a mean score of insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.73);, finally in the last rank was the team work with a mean score of insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.72);. the results related to distance learning indicated that the mean scores ranged between insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.56- 3.64); at moderate levels, so that the rationale for distance learning method domain got the highest mean score insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.64);, followed by the importance of distance learning method with a mean score of insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.62);, and in the third and last rank was the obstacles of the distance learning method with a mean score of insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.58);.
