Since crisis team members may suddenly need to perform different tasks during a crisis than during their daily work, it is advisable to provide them with task cards.
A task card summarizes the duties and responsibilities associated with a specific role within the crisis organization, such as that of a chairperson, logger, manager, or advisor. Such a task card contains all relevant information an individual needs to effectively fulfill their crisis role.
Consider:
- Responsibilities
- Tasks
- To whom should reports be submitted?
- By whom is the role alerted or called upon?
- Relevant documents, such as an agenda for the crisis meeting
- Which resources are required for performing the role
The specific content of a task card is, of course, at your discretion. However, to assist you, I have created several examples of task cards. You can download them here.
