Templates make it easier to compare multiple cases and infer generalizations from them. Templates are modular in their addition and organization. The following methodology summarizes the overall steps of template driven processing:

1. Represent each task in a given crisis as a set of descriptive templates
Descriptive templates describe what happened. For each of the activities in a given crisis, represent it as a template. During crisis for each event these templates would be filled.

2. Derive normative templates from descriptive templates
Normative templates describe what should have happened. A normative template, after being validated in the overall context of a given crisis, will be used during a crisis as a checklist for actions or as a node if the corresponding activity is implemented.

3. Embed templates as part of information/action flow in various phases of the crisis management
For the design of an information system supporting a given process recursively decompose a process of interest. For each activity in the decomposition, find normative templates for it.

This would provide a process based information system instead of conventional function based system.
