Is this method the fastest way to store the data in mem so I can walk
it.

I have to walk these alarms and determine if I've sent an email to that 
escalation_group or not.  If I have not then I need to send it.  If I
have I need to verify the timeout (15 minutes) has not occured.  If it
has I need to "escalate" the issue and got to the send escalation_group 
that is associated with the notification_group that is associated with a
location that is associated with and alarm.

I will keep track of what I have done in a table.

| escalation_id | int(10) unsigned |      | PRI | 0                  
|       |
| success       | enum('Y','N')    |      |     | N

| sent          | datetime         |      |     | 0000-00-00 00:00:00
