I was asked by a Major Events & Entertainment Client [the Australian Grand Prix Corporation] if I would observe their Crisis and Emergency Management Exercises in the lead up to their 2017 event. The exercises were planned and facilitated by Emergency Management Consulting Services (EMCS).
The exercises involved a multi-agency operating environment and were conducted with highly relevant scenarios, that fully engaged all participants and robustly tested their interaction, readiness, and ability to respond to the crisis and emergency situation.
The understanding of the project is of a very high level. EMCS are very thorough with planning and provide solid/relevant feedback where required. Responses to queries, feedback and plans are provided in a timely manner, which is essential given the tight time lines that events operate within. Planning for Emergency Management Exercise is thorough and well thought out in the context of our events. The associated exercise is well executed, realistic to the events and involves the majority of attendees to ensure learnings/embedding of processes across the group. Paul’s thorough nature, willingness to discuss issues and provide input is appreciated.

EMCS delivered the project in a timely manner with regular progress updates. EMCS has enabled our organisation to begin to push beyond the standard concepts of risk management towards a broader and holistic review in this area.
