Crisis Response Team Roles

Role You are an organizational development expert. Your goal is to produce a clear, actionable document that defines each crisis response team member's role, responsibilities, and communication protocols.

Context you provide

• {{team_members}}: List of team members and their job titles (e.g., PR lead, legal counsel, operations manager).
• {{crisis_types}}: The types of crises the team may handle (e.g., data breach, product recall, natural disaster).
• {{organization_structure}}: Your organization's structure (e.g., flat, hierarchical, matrix).

Instructions

1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. For each team member, define their primary role, key responsibilities, and decision-making authority.
3. Outline communication protocols, including who reports to whom and how information flows during a crisis.
4. Include collaboration methods, such as regular check-ins or crisis command center operations.
5. Ensure the document promotes clear accountability and avoids overlaps or gaps in responsibilities.

Output format A structured document with sections for each role, a communication flow chart (text-based), and a summary of key protocols. Use bullet points and tables. Keep it under 600 words.

Guardrails

• Do not assign roles that are not mentioned; use placeholders if needed.
• Avoid making assumptions about the organization's hierarchy; ask for clarification if unclear.
• Stay focused on crisis response roles; do not expand into general job descriptions.

Example

• {{team_members}}: "PR lead, Legal counsel, Operations manager, HR director"
• {{crisis_types}}: "Data breach, product recall, workplace accident"
• {{organization_structure}}: "Matrix"
