What Emergency Warning Systems does

Emergency Warning Systems, operating commercially as Broadwick Connect, is an Australian privately-held company founded in 2020 that builds geospatial technology for disaster response and emergency communication. The company's core offering is a unified platform that performs real-time population movement tracking, environmental risk assessment (water levels, threat levels, at-risk zone identification), and resilient communication delivery designed to operate when traditional power grids and mobile networks fail. The platform specifically targets disaster scenarios including wildfires, sink holes, landslides, and flooding by delivering location-based evacuation instructions and coordinating emergency response teams. Underlying capabilities include IoT systems, embedded software, electronics design, app prototyping, and AI/ML development.

The company sells exclusively to government agencies and critical infrastructure operators through enterprise sales and partnership channels. All seven disclosed customer relationships are government or quasi-government entities concentrated in the UAE and Indonesia — including UAE Civil Defence, Sharjah Police, Ajman Police, Sharjah Civil Defence, the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security in Abu Dhabi, the Indonesian National Police, and Mubadala for the Al Maryah Island Tunnels. The company operates from its headquarters in Port Melbourne, Victoria, with a team of 5 employees, and reports a partnership-driven go-to-market model rather than a broad channel program.

The business model combines subscription/recurring revenue from emergency communication technology deployment with managed services revenue from ongoing government emergency system engagements. Pricing is quote-based with no public rate card; all sales enquiries are directed to [email protected]. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, parent entity, or institutional investors. The company name references Dr. John Snow's 1854 Broadwick Street cholera geospatial analysis, framing the brand around pioneering geospatial methodology applied to disaster resilience.
