Products
During the course of our work in the crisis field over twenty years LYNCH has developed a portfolio of pro forma, checklists and team room incident boards and documentation which can be invaluable tools in a crisis or emergency response. These products are available to our clients and marketed as part of our services and can be customised to individual organisational requirements:-
Information Boards
Conveniently blown up to poster size these plasticised information boards can be written on with white board markers and erased for further use. They are highly visible, portable, can be pinned or stuck to most surfaces and be conveniently rolled up when not in use. The most common titles are:
- Incident Boards – Vital information at a glance. Gathers all the relevant facts in one place, updatable and adaptable for all major crisis team rooms. Download a sample
- Issues Board – Articulates and prioritises the major issues at hand and what is being done about them. A strategic must in a crisis situation.
- Casualty Tracking Board – Helps simplify one of the hardest things to do – keeping good records of casualty and next of kin requirements.
- Stakeholder Mapping Board – A vital input to crisis strategy formation and a communications “who's who” tool.
- Key Messages Board – Keeps people “on the same page”.
- Operational Action Board – Articulates tasks, roles, responsibilities and timelines for key operational necessities.
- Important Telephone Numbers Board – Limits wasted time in finding common contact points and provides contact in the preferred manner for key stakeholders.
- Promises and Obligation Board – Keeps track of what you have agreed to do and when you agreed to do it.
- Rapid Deployment or Subordinate Team Tracking – Keeping tabs on team movements, requirements and progress – assists in keeping deployed teams safe.
- Duty Roster Board – A necessity to avoid stress and fatigue. Also an invaluable tool in maintaining competency levels in the team in a long running crisis response and allows accurate recording hours worked for post crisis insurance claims.
Checklists
Checklists are a recurring LYNCH theme and we actively encourage their usage as a vital crisis tool to improve efficiency and competency in crisis teams. Please call us to discuss our ever increasing suite of checklists.
Pro forma and other Documentation
Pro forma documents allow vital crisis information to be collected and handled in the same way for both analysis and information management. As most information gathered in a crisis needs to be acted on and/or will be discoverable in the future, a process is better than a random harvest of post it notes, butchers paper or shreds of paper. Like checklists, new forms are constantly being modified and developed for specific usage. Please contact us to discuss our ever upgrading suite of pro forma.
