Printing money is just as vital. A financial crisis is when suddenly money isn't accessible, so the economy needs more to keep up with normal demand. A non-financial crisis in the "real" world needs corresponding action in the real world, which means we need to borrow from the future - people need to be assured they will be paid back for what they are doing now. So more money is needed to correspond to the increased activity. It's not the same, but similar.

If you had any sort of disruption in your personal life, you didn't have income coming in or whatever, wouldn't a large loan be really helpful if you didn't have enough savings? It doesn't matter if it's a "real" problem, or just some senseless legal thing.
