Main difference between 赶紧 and 赶忙 is that only 赶紧 can be used in imperative sentences (as far as I know)。

急忙 seems to be fine in sentences describing both a past action and a on-going one.

你干吗这样急急忙忙的?
Why are you in such a hurry?

她见医生走出手术室,急忙上前问长问短。
She asked the surgeon a lot of questions after he came out of the operating room.

尽快 as quickly as possible, ASAP, etc.

匆忙 adj. describing 急急忙忙的样子 .

行事匆忙 doing sth. hastily
时间匆忙 time is pressing

他付了船钱,匆忙下船


立刻 emphasized "immediately" rather than "hurriedly“. Is often found in imperative sentences and can take the place of 就 in the "一 。。。就。。。” sentence pattern.

一下飞机,立刻给家里打电话
