The document presents a Crisis Management Hotline (CMH) initiative by the Business Resilience Consortium to help organizations collectively manage crises. The CMH will provide a communication channel for business continuity managers to analyze, coordinate and collaborate on decisions during crises. Key benefits include wider visibility of crisis situations, faster response through collective decision making, and knowledge sharing. The CMH will have a coordinator, group members from different organizations, and a dedicated dial-in number. It will be activated for potential crises, support requests, or widespread situations and help reach consensus on actions through moderated calls. Ensuring the right coordinator and experienced continuity managers participate are factors for the CMH's success. The initiative aims to expand its reach

In case of unavailability of primary CMH Coordinator, backup CMH coordinator will be the contact point. CMH Coordinator will have the responsibility and ownership for managing CMH as per the defined operating model. He/She has the full authority to validate all activation requests and to accept or decline a request based on his assessment of the request. In case of potential or imminent crisis situation, CMH Coordinator can also directly initiate process for activation of CMH.

Draft CMH Operating Model (contd…) Once a request is accepted by CMH coordinator, he/she will apprise all CMH members (via sms/phone/mails/outlook meeting request etc) on the schedule, duration and agenda of CMH call. As per the CMH call schedule, CMH coordinator will activate the CMH conference facility and CMH members can log in with the pre-shared CMH number. CMH coordinator will act as moderator for the group, and shall ensure planned agenda is discussed and a collective consensus is reached on the actions to be taken to effectively manage the crisis situation. Call duration can be further extended by CMH coordinator, if required. Final decision/actions/minutes of the CMH call will be available through automated response system on the CMH number to act as reference for the CMH members who could not join in the call.
