The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) has incident and emergency procedures for events such as bushfires and other emergencies. Frontline staff are trained in the NPWS incident management system, which allows access to state-wide staff and resources during a declared incident. The Hill End Pollution Incident Management Plan is designed to work within existing structures. The plan also draws on the experience and expertise staff at the Hill End Historic Site have in managing incidents.
