Emergency Evacuation Exercise is a resilience service within the Emergency Management discipline. It validates your organisation's ability to respond effectively to emergency scenarios through realistic, supervised simulations.

## Delivery Approach

Fixinc delivers Emergency Evacuation Exercise through a four-step Plan-Do-Check-Act methodology:

1. **Plan**: Agile, first-principles planning ensures a smooth rollout of your refreshed program
2. **Do**: Emergency Evacuation Exercise is rolled out smoothly at your organisation
3. **Check**: Your Emergency Evacuation Exercise is validated through testing
4. **Act**: Your team and ours will be ready when your Emergency Evacuation Exercise is activated in real-life

## Exercise Delivery

Fixinc facilitates full evacuation exercises, including lockdowns, bomb threats, and fire scenarios. Exercises use realistic simulations with safety supervision throughout. Each exercise includes pre-briefs, live communications, and post-drill evaluation. For digital coordination, [F24 ENS+](https://docs.fixinc.io/technology/f24.md) can be integrated to manage alerts and collect real-time participation data. Exercises are immersive, carefully coordinated, and tailored to your site and team structure. Deliverables include real learnings rather than compliance ticks, plus a full report with action steps. For sites with complex layouts or multi-tenant spaces, exercises ensure every part of the organisation moves safely and confidently.

## Engagement Process

### Initial Consultation

A link will be sent via email from the Advisory team. You select a convenient time to chat over phone, Teams, Zoom, or in person. The 30-45 minute consultation covers your objectives. Fixinc shares their approach and provides opportunity for questions.

### Proposal and Quote

A proposal is delivered within 24 hours detailing the scope of work. One week later, the proposal is discussed. Ten minutes later, a final quote is provided for signing. If not signed within five weeks, Fixinc assumes timing is not suitable and closes the opportunity.

### Delivery Phases

**Review and Health Check**: All Emergency Evacuation Exercise implementations start with a deep review of what is already in place. Benchmarks are set based on best practice and ISO standards.

**Design and Develop**: With appropriate involvement from your team, the Emergency Evacuation Exercise component of your Emergency Management program is built to the highest available quality.

**Validate**: Where appropriate, new Emergency Evacuation Exercise capabilities are tested and validated. This provides tangible evidence of capability and maturity to stakeholders.

**Maintain**: A plan is built to ensure your Emergency Evacuation Exercise runs annually, maintaining program momentum.
