Perth Metropolitan, Western Australia

Emergency management for metropolitan Perth.

The capital concentrates people, infrastructure and industry, and pushes housing straight into the bushfire fringe in the hills.

Operating context

What makes the Perth metropolitan area different.

Perth holds most of the state’s population, its corporate and government headquarters, its major hospitals and universities, the airport, Fremantle port and the Kwinana industrial strip. The Perth Hills push suburbs into forest that has produced fast, destructive fires within the metropolitan boundary. Heat, storms, industrial and hazardous materials risk, transport and mass gatherings round out the picture.

Resolve is based in Perth, so metropolitan work starts fast. We support organisations on crisis and incident management, Emergency Operations Centre capability, exercises that test decisions under pressure, and the governance that holds it together.

The regional risk picture

The hazards we build for in the Perth metropolitan area.

Urban-fringe bushfire

Fast, high-intensity fire where suburbs meet forest in the Perth Hills and along the metropolitan edge.

Extreme heat

Heatwaves that strain health services, power supply and vulnerable populations across the city.

Industrial and hazmat risk

Concentrated processing, fuel and chemical exposure through Kwinana and other industrial areas.

Infrastructure interdependency

Power, water, transport and communications failures that cascade quickly in a dense environment.

The work that carries the most weight in this region.

Resolve supports Perth organisations with crisis and incident management, EOC capability and exercises tuned to a dense, high-consequence environment.

Common questions

Perth, answered.

Can Resolve run a crisis exercise for our organisation in Perth?

Yes. We design and facilitate crisis, EOC and functional exercises that test decisions, coordination and communications, scheduled and delivered on site with short lead times.

Multi-Agency Exercising

Do you help set up or improve an Emergency Operations Centre?

Yes. We work on EOC design, roles, tools and activation, and build the capability of the people who staff it through training and exercises.

Can you support us during an actual incident?

Yes. We provide incident and crisis management support at short notice for Perth organisations, including senior advisers and functional roles, and remote support where that is faster.
