This is a thread about #beirutport explosion, weighing in from my long experience in managing operations and facilities. PS: things might turn a bit technical >>>
Every facility should have a roles and responsibilities matrix (R&R), that's how everybody knows what to do when they arrive to work. and That’s why they know whom to call when the shit hits the fan.
The R&R is also coupled with escalation matrix with multiple levels so when you call a supposedly responsible person, and they don't answer / react in a timely manner, the escalation matrix tells you whom to call next / how / and when / and how frequently
