Emergency Management Services
Agilient are specialists in emergency management. We have undertaken projects associated with the following precincts including a number of iconic sites: Emergency Management Victoria, Emergency Management Australia, Emergency Management NSW and Emergency Management Queensland. Typically, these projects have two dimensions that we manage.
- Organisational or facility emergency management
- Precinct emergency management
Firstly, there is the organisational or facility dimension and how an organisation responds to emergencies using an all hazards approach.
This involves Agilient providing Emergency Management Australia services associated with:
- The formation, purpose, responsibility and training of the organisation or facility emergency planning committee.
- Emergency identification.
- The development of an organisational or facility emergency plan.
- The development of organisational or facility emergency response procedures.
- The establishment, authority and training of an organisational or facility emergency control organisation.
- The testing and validation of organisation or facility emergency response procedures.
- Organisational or facility emergency related training.
- Integration of organisational or facility emergency arrangements with emergency services in NSW, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia as well as other states and territories.
Agilient bases its approach to organisational emergencies on ‘AS 3745-2010 Planning for emergencies in facilities’. Secondly, there is a precinct approach. A precinct is a shared space where many separate organisations may operate. Examples of precincts include Federation Square, Darling Harbour, Sydney Opera House etc. The goal here is to negotiate a shared vision between the range of organisations that constitute the precinct and often because it is a public space special consideration needs to be given for mass warning, evacuation and integration with official emergency services such as Police, Ambulance and the Fire Brigade. Agilient helps the shared owners of precincts develop emergency plans with clear and well-defined control organisations, roles and responsibilities.
The Importance of Security Risk Assessments
Without experienced risk and security management, organisations face serious risks, such as data breaches, theft, downtime, and reputational damage, that can lead to legal consequences, lost revenue, and broken stakeholder trust. Agilient’s expert security consulting implements nationally approved ISO security frameworks to safeguard assets, people, and operations by proactively identifying risks and implementing strategies to minimise their impact.
In summary Agilient provides emergency management services to precincts associated with:
- The formation, purpose, responsibility and training of the precinct emergency planning committee.
- Emergency identification.
- The development of a precinct emergency plan.
- The development of precinct emergency response procedures.
- The establishment, authority and training of a precinct emergency control organisation.
- The testing and validation of precinct emergency response procedures.
- Precinct emergency related training.
- Integration of precinct emergency arrangements with emergency services in NSW, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and other states and territories.
- The provision of duress alarms.
- Public warning and address systems.

What’s involved in Emergency Management Services ?
Agilient conducts a comprehensive security risk assessment to identify vulnerabilities, evaluate risks, and develop tailored mitigation strategies. The key steps are:
Risk Identification
Agilient conducts a meticulous process to identify all critical assets and potential security risks that could affect the enterprise, logging vulnerabilities across all operations and information systems. It involves evaluating historical data and anticipating future threats based on the evolving security landscape.
Threat Assessment
Agilient identifies and analyses threat actors and threat acts that could impact organisational assets.
Risk Evaluation and Prioritisation
We evaluate the likelihood and potential impact of each risk to prioritise them based on their potential impact and likelihood of occurrence. This helps determine which threats warrant immediate attention and which can be addressed in longer-term strategies.
Risk Analysis and Integration
By analysing risks in greater detail, we can determine the appropriate responses and how these measures may best align with the organisation’s overall objectives, ensuring that planning complies with established security frameworks and complements business growth and strategic goals.
Risk Management Planning
The next stage in risk and security management planning involves designing and implementing strategies to mitigate, transfer, accept, or avoid risks based on the organisation’s context and resources. Our consultants are experts in designing custom solutions for a wide range of industries, and we develop tailored risk mitigation plans that match your sector and context.
Monitoring, Review and Communication
Security risks are ever-evolving, which is why Agilient continuously monitors identified threats and adjusts strategies to maintain organisational readiness. Through ongoing review and stakeholder consultation, our consultants ensure your enterprise remains responsive, risk-aware, and aligned around clear communication, fostering a culture of preparedness at every level.

frequently Asked questions
A security risk assessment is essential if your business handles sensitive data, operates critical infrastructure, or is required to meet regulatory standards (e.g., PSPF, ISO, GDPR). A risk management consultant is also vital after breaches, during major changes, or if policies are outdated or unclear. Any business—even startups— is vulnerable in today’s increasingly complex threat environment.
A risk management security assessment should be conducted annually, or more frequently if you’ve had major operational, tech, or staffing changes. New threats, industry vulnerabilities, or compliance requirements may also trigger a review. It’s especially important after a breach or close call to reassess risk priorities and mitigation strategies.
Agilient conducts risk management security assessments aligned with internationally recognised standards and frameworks to ensure comprehensive and effective risk management. These include:
- ISO 31000 – Principles and guidelines for risk management.
- Standards Australia, HB 327: Communicating and consulting about risk.
- ISO Guide 73:2009 Risk management – Vocabulary.
- Standards Australia, HB324 – 2008: Lexicon of Key Terms in Security.
