To create an effective emergency matrix, you will need to first identify which groups, divisions, chiefs, and unit leaders are responsible, accountable, consulted, or informed for each of the steps to handle the emergency event.
This type of matrix will eliminate confusion and any downtime between steps where people might be confused if a certain piece of it has been completed yet. In the event of an emergency, it is time-saving and it is better to plan.
It is also useful when it comes to breaking down the situation and writing the escalation report.
