Situational Awareness PowerPoint & Google Slides Template

The Situational Awareness Template is a strategic framework designed to illustrate the process of perception, comprehension, and projection in dynamic environments. Perfect for high-stakes industries like aviation, healthcare, defense, emergency management, and operations, this template visually represents the core elements that contribute to effective decision-making under pressure.

The layout follows a logical progression, starting with Task Factors (e.g., task volume, design, and constraints) and Individual Factors (such as background, education, and assumptions), both of which directly influence situational awareness. The awareness process is categorized into three levels:

• Level 1: Interpretation of environmental and informational inputs
• Level 2: Understanding the context and relevance of the situation
• Level 3: Forecasting future conditions or developments

These levels flow into a Decision node, which ultimately leads to Performance of Action. Feedback loops and directional arrows enhance understanding of how continuous monitoring, personal input, and system status influence decisions in real time.

With its clean, modern design and user-friendly layout, the template is fully editable in PowerPoint and Google Slides, making it suitable for presentations in leadership training, safety briefings, academic instruction, or risk management planning.

Whether you’re explaining tactical response planning, conducting a root cause analysis, or facilitating team preparedness, this template supports clarity and critical insight.
