Call-as-Needed IMT Support

When complexity and consequence collide. We lead the response.

Senior AIIMS Incident Controller and Incident Management Team support deployed to your site during a running incident, wherever the incident is.

The Reality

Complex incidents in remote environments do not wait for your systems to catch up. They expose the gaps.

Bushfire bearing down on a remote camp. Cyclone tracking towards an offshore facility. Flooding cutting supply lines to an isolated community. These are not hypothetical scenarios in Western Australia. They happen, and when they do, the response demands senior leadership that understands consequence, not just process.

The challenge is not a lack of plans. It is what happens when plans meet multi-hazard complexity, contested logistics, competing priorities, and the pressure of real-time consequence. That is where an experienced Incident Management Team matters most.

Operational Scenario

Tuesday, 1340hrs. Pilbara.

1340

Category 3 cyclone tracking south. Bureau downgrades to 24-hour warning window. Two remote camps and an airstrip in the path.

1355

Site Incident Controller activated. Has never run a cyclone preparation. Emergency plan says 'refer to Cyclone Procedure' but the procedure was last updated in 2019.

1430

Decision needed: evacuate 380 personnel by road or shelter in place. Road is a single lane, 6 hours to the nearest town. Last flight departed 20 minutes ago.

1510

Contractor camp manager reports their company has their own cyclone procedure. It conflicts with the site plan. Nobody has authority to resolve the disagreement.

1600

Corporate office calls. CEO wants a briefing. Site IC is now managing the cyclone, the contractor dispute, the evacuation decision, and executive communications simultaneously.

This is not hypothetical. It is a composite of real incidents we have responded to. The question is whether your organisation would manage it differently.

Call-as-needed IMT

When the incident outgrows the meeting, you need command, not more discussion.

Resolve maintains a Perth-based cadre of senior, AIIMS Level 2 and Level 3 accredited Incident Management practitioners, deployed across Western Australia and, where required, nationally. When an incident escalates beyond your normal operating rhythm, we supply an experienced Incident Controller and Incident Management Team to work alongside your people and guide the response through to resolution.

A word on why this helps

Your senior leadership team is expert in running the operation: engineering, production, logistics, the business. Very few are expert in running an incident, and there is no reason they should be; it is a different discipline, built through repetition under pressure. Bringing in practitioners who do this for a living is not a reflection on your team. It is what considered, well-governed decision-making looks like when the stakes are high.

Operating Environment

Western Australia's hazard landscape demands experienced leadership.

WA's operating environment is defined by distance, remoteness, and a hazard profile that includes bushfire, tropical cyclone, severe storm, flooding, and industrial incidents. When these hazards converge with critical infrastructure and isolated communities, the complexity escalates rapidly.

Our practitioners have led responses across this landscape. We understand what it takes to sustain operations when roads are cut, communications are degraded, and the nearest support is hours away. That lived experience is what we bring to your organisation.

What We Do

Senior incident leadership when the stakes are highest.

We provide experienced Incident Management Team practitioners who lead, advise, and coordinate across complex, multi-hazard operations. We work in the field, not from a desk.

Incident Command Leadership

Senior incident controllers and operations officers deployed to lead response in complex, high-consequence environments. Direct command experience across bushfire, cyclone, flood, and industrial emergencies.

Multi-Agency Coordination

Managing the interface between your organisation and external agencies during active incidents. Ensuring information flows, priorities align, and response objectives are achieved without confusion or duplication.

Remote & Isolated Operations

Specialist understanding of the logistical and operational challenges unique to remote WA. Resupply coordination, evacuation planning, communications in austere environments, and sustaining operations over extended periods.

Natural Hazard Response

Practitioner-led leadership across bushfire, tropical cyclone, severe weather, and flooding events. Understanding seasonal risk profiles and the specific challenges these hazards present in Western Australia.

Crisis Advisory & Support

Senior advisory to executives and leadership teams during active incidents. Providing the operational context, consequence analysis, and decision support that keeps leadership informed and effective.

Sustained Operations Management

Managing the transition from initial response through to sustained operations and recovery. Shift planning, personnel rotation, fatigue management, and maintaining operational tempo across days or weeks.

Why It Matters

The first hours determine the outcome. Leadership in those hours determines everything else.

Consequence management

In high-consequence environments, the difference between a managed incident and a crisis is often the quality of leadership in the first critical hours. Experienced incident commanders stabilise situations, establish priorities, and prevent escalation.

Operational continuity

Complex incidents threaten more than safety. They disrupt operations, supply chains, workforce movements, and community confidence. Senior incident leadership keeps the focus on both immediate response and broader operational impact.

Organisational protection

How your organisation responds to a major incident defines your reputation, your regulatory standing, and your social licence. Competent, experienced leadership during the response protects all three.

Agency interface

When external agencies are involved, the relationship between your organisation and those agencies needs to be managed carefully. Poor coordination wastes time, creates confusion, and can compromise the response.

How We Deploy

Structured leadership across every phase of the response.

We deploy practitioners who have led responses at scale. Our approach covers the full lifecycle from initial activation through sustained operations to recovery and transition.
