Since crisis team members suddenly have to perform different tasks during a crisis than they do in their day-to-day work, it’s helpful to provide them with task cards.
A job description is a summary of the tasks and responsibilities associated with a specific role within the crisis management team, such as that of a chairperson, recorder, manager, or advisor. A job description outlines all the relevant information a person needs to effectively fulfill their crisis management role.
Consider:
- Responsibilities
- Tasks
- To whom should reports be made?
- Who alerts or calls upon the role?
- Relevant documents, such as an agenda for the crisis meeting
- What resources are needed to perform the role
Of course, it’s up to you to decide exactly what should be included on a task card. But to help you get started, I’ve created a few sample task cards. You can download them here.
