Emergency Scenario Library

This skill provides pre-built emergency scenario content organised by industry type. It serves as a starting baseline for the emergency identification and assessment process — the scenarios are adapted and expanded based on each facility's specific characteristics and location.

How to Use This Library

1. Identify the facility's industry type from the list below
2. Read scenarios/common-all-facilities.md first — these universal emergencies apply to every facility regardless of type
3. Then read the relevant industry file — these add industry-specific emergencies on top of the common set
4. Combine both to form the baseline hazard list for the facility

If a facility spans multiple industry types (e.g., a manufacturing site with a commercial office wing), load multiple industry files and combine them.

Industry Files

File	Industry Type	Typical Facilities
scenarios/common-all-facilities.md	Universal	All facilities — provides the baseline that every ERP starts from
scenarios/industrial-manufacturing.md	Industrial / Manufacturing	Factories, recycling plants, processing facilities, workshops, fabrication
scenarios/warehousing-logistics.md	Warehousing / Logistics	Warehouses, distribution centres, freight terminals, cold storage
scenarios/construction-sites.md	Construction	Building construction, civil works, demolition, infrastructure projects
scenarios/commercial-office.md	Commercial / Office	Office buildings, professional services, government, corporate
scenarios/retail-hospitality.md	Retail / Hospitality	Shopping centres, restaurants, hotels, entertainment venues
scenarios/healthcare-aged-care.md	Healthcare / Aged Care	Hospitals, aged care facilities, medical centres, pathology labs
scenarios/education-childcare.md	Education / Childcare	Schools, universities, TAFE, childcare centres, training facilities
scenarios/mining-resources.md	Mining / Resources	Surface and underground mines, quarries, oil and gas, processing plants

Scenario File Structure

Each industry file follows this structure:

# [Industry Type] — Emergency Scenario Library

## Applicability
[Which facility types this library covers]

## Standard Emergencies
Reference to common-all-facilities.md — always load this as well.

## Industry-Specific Emergencies

### [Emergency Name]
- **Source:** Internal / External / Both
- **AS 3745 Category:** Human / Natural / Technological
- **Colour Code:** [Per AS 3745 Table 4.1]
- **Suggested Group:** [Procedure group name for Section 17]
- **Typical Consequences:** [Brief factual description]
- **Vulnerability Factors:**
  - Before: [Pre-event factors]
  - During: [Response-phase factors]
  - After: [Recovery-phase factors]
- **Base Procedure Notes:** [Key response actions specific to this industry/scenario]
- **Evacuation Option:** Full / Partial / Shelter / Escape-Hide-Tell / Lockdown

AS 3745 Emergency Categories

All scenarios are classified under the three AS 3745 Clause 3.2 categories:

1. Human-caused emergencies — Acts or failures by people
2. Natural emergencies — Weather, geological, environmental events
3. Technological emergencies — Equipment, infrastructure, or process failures

AS 3745 Colour Codes (Table 4.1)

Colour	Emergency Type
Red	Fire and smoke
Purple	Bomb threat / suspicious object
Blue	Medical emergency
Black	Personal threat / armed intrusion
Yellow	Internal emergency (facility-specific: hazmat, infrastructure, plant)
Brown	External emergency (weather, flood, external hazmat, bushfire)
Orange	Evacuation

Adapting Scenarios

The library provides conservative baseline descriptions. When using these scenarios in an actual assessment:

• Add specificity — replace generic descriptions with facility-specific details (e.g., "chemical spill" becomes "sulfuric acid spill from IBC storage in Warehouse B")
• Adjust consequences — tailor to the facility's layout, occupancy, and characteristics
• Update vulnerability factors — consider the facility's actual controls, equipment, and staffing
• Remove inapplicable scenarios — not every industry scenario applies to every facility of that type
• Add site-specific scenarios — the library cannot anticipate every unique hazard a facility might have

The erp-emergency-assessment skill handles this adaptation process using facility-specific data and location research.
