Born out of crisis situations like the Three Mile Island incident, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was created to coordinate disaster response across the USA.
FEMA is charged with protecting the country when disaster strikes, but how does FEMA communicate?
FEMA uses draw.io

Flow charts are so common, and so important to strategic communication, that draw.io features it as the first template after “blank” in our board builder.
RACI charts
Maybe it’s a security breach, and action needs to be taken. A RACI diagram can quickly lay out a plan of action.
- Responsible
- Accountable
- Consulted
- Informed
The RACI chart or RACI matrix has long been a popular tool in project management. It’s used to clarify roles and responsibilities for each task, milestone, and decision throughout a project.
The chart is designed to ensure clear communication and smooth workflows by informing each team member of who is in charge of what, eliminating confusion, and defining responsibility and accountability.
Regardless of the crisis or event, draw.io is a tool that lends itself to rapid diagramming and clear communication.
