Risk Scoping
and Design
Emergency planning starts with a clear understanding of the risks your organisation may face. This could encompass organisational emergency response plans or, for local authorities and government bodies, initiatives aimed at community or societal resilience and emergency response. By identifying plausible emergency scenarios, assessing potential impacts, and defining key planning assumptions, we ensure that emergency plans are grounded in reality and designed with clarity, relevance, and organisational or societal context in mind.
​
​With the risk profile established, we develop structured, role-specific emergency response plans that guide decision-making and action during a crisis. This includes defining command roles, escalation protocols, and communication flows. We also support your teams through targeted preparedness activities—such as scenario-based workshops and table-top exercises, so they are confident in their responsibilities and equipped to act swiftly under pressure.

Activation and Delivery
​​
Testing your emergency response is essential to validating your plans and building team cohesion. We design and deliver live drills or guided simulations to bring emergency scenarios to life, allowing staff to practice their roles in a controlled environment. Our experienced facilitators ensure that each session is well-structured, psychologically safe, and tailored to test both the processes and people involved in your emergency response framework.
​​
After each exercise or real-world activation, we conduct structured debriefs to capture lessons learned, behavioural insights, and gaps in the response. These findings are used to refine emergency plans, improve team performance, and enhance overall readiness. This phase reinforces a culture of continuous learning and ensures your emergency planning remains effective, relevant, and aligned with evolving risks and organisational change.
