Emergency management

Incident readiness you can prove.

A plan in a binder doesn’t tell you if your IMT is ready. We turn your plans into live incidents in your own geography, then test the people and doctrine behind them.

Outcomes

Incidents have changed.
Your exercises should too.

Seasons are longer. Incidents compound. Agencies must show readiness, not assert it.

Ready for concurrent incidents: Fire seasons across southern Australia now run well past the old October-to-March window. Fire, flood and smoke arrive in quick succession. Train for the overlap.
Close the gaps between agencies: Fire, police, health, SES and local government work a major incident in parallel. Put them in one exercise. The gaps surface before the day, not on it.
Build Incident Controllers faster: An experienced, largely volunteer workforce is moving on. New Incident Controllers need command judgement sooner than a career of incidents can supply it.
Meet the evidentiary bar: The Royal Commission found capabilities too often meet their first real test in an incident, not an exercise. Show improvement with evidence, not memory.
Fix it before the season: Find where the team has sharpened and where it has slipped. Leave with corrective actions and a plan for improvement.

Scenarios we run

Built around the incidents
you plan for.

Every scenario runs in your geography, fuel and weather, against your doctrine. One facilitator runs it. AI plays the journalists, residents, ministerial staff and field crews.

Fire
Pre-season readiness
A full IMT exercise in your fire weather and fuel conditions. Where has the team sharpened since last summer? Where has it slipped?
Weather
Tropical cyclone
Landfall in 36 hours. Warnings, evacuations and pre-positioning on a clock.
Geological
Earthquake
Buildings down in a town centre. Search and rescue between aftershocks.
Biosecurity
Panama disease
A new TR4 detection on a north Queensland banana farm. Quarantine the property, then trace every boot, vehicle and machine that left it.
Flood
Dam release decision
A storage is near full and more rain is coming. Release now, or hold and hope?
Fire
Grassfire on the urban fringe
A fast-running fire jumps the highway towards new estates. Minutes to warn people who have never seen one.
Biosecurity
Red imported fire ants
A nest found well outside the treatment zone. Movement controls on soil, mulch and hay, and a public asked to look and report.

Weather
Cyclone, then flood
The cyclone crosses the coast and the rain keeps coming for a week. Two incidents, one tired team.

Exercise Red Horizon
Incident management teams test their coordination against a fire that will not wait for peak season.
Inside Red Horizon

“This is the closest I've seen to the pressure and tempo of a real IMT room without smoke in the air. The competing priorities, information gaps, and constant interruptions felt authentic. It exposes decision-making issues in the first hour that traditional exercises often miss.”

Tony English, Veteran Firefighter & Emergency Management Leader

How it works

Foresight: the flight simulator for incident management.

Pilots don’t prepare for emergencies by talking about them. They get in the simulator. Your IMT needs the same: the pressure and tempo of a real incident room, without smoke in the air.

01 / 04
Design
Build your exercise around your geography, your fuel and weather, your doctrine and your plans. Ready in hours, not weeks.
02 / 04
Deploy
Your IMT goes live on Foresight. Each participant works their own function and sees only what that role would see. Agentic AI actors play the journalists, residents, ministerial staff and field crews. Every decision changes what happens next.
03 / 04
Debrief
You decide what matters. Hindsight measures it. Time to first warning. Quality of the Incident Action Plan. Every decision mapped to your jurisdiction’s doctrine. Start from a ready-made package or build your own.
04 / 04
Develop
Every gap becomes a corrective action, with an owner and a date. An evidence base that stands up to review. Run it again before the season. Watch the numbers move.
