Well, I would say numb is more of a non-feeling. Like, if something bad happens and you don't feel anything at all.
1) Deprived of the power to feel or move normally; benumbed: toes numb with cold; too numb with fear to cry out. 2) Emotionally unresponsive; indifferent: numb to yet another appeal.
Calm is more of a composed thing. Like, you can be in turmoil on the inside, but have a calm facade. Or, be calm, you have come to terms with it.
1) Not excited or agitated; composed: The President was calm throughout the global crisis.

And I'm still not sure.
Kind of an unusual situation for me...I think.

Calm is how you hope to be in a crisis.
Numb is how you are after a crisis.
