Framework
Emergency Management Framework
Governance and structure for the whole programme.
- Policy and governance model
- Roles and response hierarchy
- Emergency response plans and procedures
- Integration with HSE, security and operations
Advisory · 01
Emergency arrangements your people can act on
Frameworks, plans and command structures built around real hazards and the decisions your teams will actually have to make.
The challenge
Plans that satisfy an auditor often fail in the first hour
Many emergency plans are written to be approved, not used. When an incident begins, roles blur, escalation stalls and decisions wait for information that never arrives.
REDS designs emergency management arrangements around your hazard profile, your structure and the first decisions that matter. The result is a framework that is audit-ready and also works in practice.
What we deliver
Structures, plans and command that hold under pressure
Command
Command & Control (ICS / EOC) Review
How decisions are made and information flows during an incident.
- Incident command structure review
- Control room and EOC readiness
- Decision flow and information management
- Interfaces with civil defence, police and other agencies
Capability
ICS & EOC capability building
In-house programmes that build the roles the framework relies on.
- Incident Command System courses, basic and advanced
- EOC set-up, information flow and coordination
- Simulations built from your own scenarios
- REDS certificate of completion
Training is delivered in-house as part of, or as a follow-on to, advisory work. REDS certificates are certificates of completion, not accredited qualifications.
