Preparing for a crisis is just as important as responding to one. Effective crisis management starts with well-developed, easily accessible documentation that guides teams through response protocols, communication flows, and decision-making processes. Sentinel Video Crisis Rooms, integrated with Miro Whiteboarding, offer organisations a collaborative environment to create, refine, and manage these essential documents before an incident occurs.
Why Quality Documentation Matters
Critical response documents form the backbone of a resilient crisis management strategy. Comprehensive, well-structured plans ensure teams can act decisively and consistently under pressure. These documents provide clarity, reduce response times, and help organisations meet compliance requirements.
Some of the most essential documents include:
-
Crisis response plans: Detailed protocols outlining how to address various crisis scenarios.
-
Communication trees: Clear diagrams that define communication hierarchies and escalation procedures.
-
Decision-making flowcharts: Visual guides to streamline critical decision-making during high-pressure situations.
-
Business continuity plans: Comprehensive strategies for maintaining operations during and after a disruption.
