Definitions

1. the indication of a state of emergency can be read beforehand from an Organization Information Center board, being forecast by red lines in three or more graphs, or by three red lines on one graph. If management has tolerated this without action when one red line occurred a state of emergency has already begun when it reaches three, since this is patently one or a dozen dropped balls. The organization can be assumed to be out of control. (HCO PL 17 Feb 61 II)

2. the state of emergency is a serious condition. For it takes a series of serious blunders to reduce statistics or bring about local infamy or a public or press smear campaign. The state is not idly assigned and is assigned only after a steadily declining statistic or a series of non-compliances or offences resulting in over work for seniors of the org or near catastrophe. (HCO PL 30 Apr 65)

3. when an org or portion of an org has consistently down statistics (Organization Information Center) or numerous non-compliances or offences, it is declared to be in a state of emergency. This can be assigned to a unit, sub-section, section, department, division or the entire organization. It is not assigned to a person. (HCO PL 30 Apr 65)
