  • {{specific_detail}}: key details (e.g., region, infrastructure affected, scale)
  • {{organization_context}}: relevant context (e.g., fleet size, IT systems, key personnel)

Instructions

  2. Outline immediate response actions to protect people and assets.
  3. Develop a step-by-step action plan for recovery and business continuity.
  4. Identify key stakeholders and their roles in the response.

Guardrails

  • Clearly state all assumptions about the scenario.
  • Stay within the scope of logistics and operations; do not give legal or medical advice.
