Brunswick Bravo 2019 is a province-wide emergency preparedness exercise planned for October 23, 2019 in New Brunswick.
UPDATE: The Exercise has ended.
Thanks to all the amateur radio operators who volunteered their time and expertise today for Exercise Brunswick Bravo 2019!
This one-day exercise will give communities, municipalities, First Nations and local service districts an opportunity to practise their respective roles during an emergency event. All New Brunswick communities are invited to participate and take advantage of this learning opportunity in emergency response planning.
Scenario
The exercise scenario will be a continuation of Exercise Brunswick Alpha and revolve around a weather event unfolding across the province. Advanced weather reporting, simulated social media, and web-based news reporting will add to the realism of the experience. Further details will be developed and discussed at the initial planning conference in Fredericton on Sept 24.
