The City of Campbell River is hosting an emergency training exercise at the Campbell River Airport on Wednesday.

A simulated Emergency Operation Centre will be activated to support the exercise, following all protocols that would be in place in a real-life scenario.

The goal is to ensure that all responding agencies are prepared and coordinated in the event of an emergency, including BC Ambulance, Health Emergency Management BC, RCMP, Transport Canada, Strathcona Regional District, local airlines, NAV Canada, and City Fire Department and YBL staff.

We’ll have more detail tomorrow, but you should be aware that if you notice a big presence at the airport from 10am to 2pm, it’s simply an exercise.

In the meantime, to learn more about City emergency planning, visit City of Campbell River.
