I work at OpenAI and I was the Incident Commander for yesterday's outage.
We had a routing error within our infra that caused issues for some of our products. It was not related to the Astra launch. We don't comment on other providers' outages.

It is a common system in all kinds of emergency response scenarios, including local emergency services (fire/police/ambulance) and it scales all the way to massive disasters.
It is especially useful to clarify command structures when multiple response entities need to coordinate. That is true even within organizations like public companies, where the reporting structures may be distinct.
