First thing’s a clear triage grid—identify who needs help, where supplies are, and set a relay line for updates. I’ll mark the zones on a whiteboard, assign teams, and stick to the plan; no room for confusion. To stay sharp, I keep my notes neat and double‑check each step. A quick mental check—what’s the next priority, what’s the risk—helps keep the mind focused. And if I start feeling the pressure build, I take a breath, reset the grid, and remind myself that a little order keeps the chaos from swallowing us.
