Planning

Emergency Management Planning that works in practice, not just on paper

At The Six C’s, we write emergency and continuity plans that are clear, compliant, and actually used—during planning, in the middle of a crisis, and throughout recovery.

We’ve partnered with organisations of all sizes; from national companies like Bega and Rural Aid, to regional health services such as Bass Coast Health and Moyne Health Services to design tailored, practical plans that meet legislative requirements and reflect local risks, resources, and realities.

We don’t do cookie-cutter templates.
We work with you, not just for you.

✅ What We Can Help With

✔ Emergency Management Plans
We collaborate with local government, including MEMPCs (Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committees), to write Municipal Emergency Management Plans (MEMPs) that meet legislative requirements.

✔ Business Continuity Plans
We write easy-to-use business continuity plans that help your organisation keep operating during disruptions, whether it’s a power outage, bushfire threat, IT failure, or workforce shortage. Our plans are written in plain language, structured so your team knows exactly what to do, and customised to your risks, structure, and environment.

We work with businesses, community organisations, and health services across regional and rural Australia, understanding that continuity planning isn’t just about ticking a box—it’s about protecting people, services, and livelihoods.

Our approach includes:

  • Identifying your critical business functions and the risks that could impact them
  • Mapping out step-by-step actions to maintain operations or recover quickly
  • Clarifying roles and responsibilities before a disruption occurs
  • Including easy-to-use checklists, communication templates, and escalation processes

You’ll walk away with a continuity plan your team can understand, use, and trust—not one that gathers dust on a shelf.

✔ Relief & Recovery Planning
We write plans that guide relief and recovery activities with clarity and care. We focus on supporting local leadership, cultural safety, and community-led solutions.

✔ Community Emergency Management Plans (CEMPs)
We help towns and communities plan for what matters most. These plans strengthen preparedness, trust, and resilience.

✔ Warden and Evacuation Training
We don’t just write the plans, we ensure your people are ready to implement them. We deliver Chief Warden, Area Warden, and Warden training, aligned with your emergency procedures and site-specific risks.
