The annual \u201cCaribe Wave Tsunami Exercise\u201d will be held in Antigua and Barbuda on Thursday 19th March facilitated by the National Office of Disaster Services (NODS). This exercise will test tsunami preparedness plans throughout the island.<\/p>

Please be advised that a \u201cdummy tsunami warning message\u201d will be sent via the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) App which NODS has been encouraging residents to download on their smart phones and radio interrupters which has been installed in a few stations on island. The message will begin with the words EXERCISE!! EXERCISE!! EXERCISE!! and end with the same. Sirens are also expected to sound off in various communities.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As a result, schools and workplaces etc will be conducting evacuation drills throughout the island. Emergency responders such as the Police, EMS, Red Cross will also be quite visible – giving support to the exercise. Note that this will only be an exercise and not a real scenario.<\/p>
