This resource provides a series of important questions and accompanying worksheet for consideration following an incident or event. It helps assess the current situation and supports the decision-making process during time of incident. Most simply put, situational awareness can be described as “knowing what is going on around you”. All too often emotional reactions, shock and chaos can ensue after an incident and for those individuals responsible for an organization it is important to maintain situational awareness and have accurate documentation of the crisis. You can also leverage this form to record events or critical decisions and the time/date they occurred. Be sure that all documentation is accurate and legible.
