Provided it is an emergency, we should act immediately.

Explanation:

Provided , besides meaning "supplied", can also mean "if", more or less, and can be used to introduce a hypothetical situation. Supposing can also be used to mean "if" and introduce a hypothetical situation-- in this case, the hypothetical situation is the existence of an emergency.

In this context, provided and supposing are synonyms.
